Chance For a New Beginning

2009-08-13T12:23:00.000-07:00

Resulting from the tragic disappearance in May 2005 of Natalee Holloway on the island of Aruba, many immediately saw what appeared to be rampant cronyism, corruption, and downright criminal actions on the part of those elected to preserve and protect -- The Aruban Government and its Judiciary.

Throughout these past 4 years, many have watched and listened to further injustices against both Natalee and her family by those same "authorities".

Many have also seen the reaction of the world to the continued spotlight on Aruba, and its previously hidden underbelly of crime.

Such an underbelly has gone unreported in their crime statistics, thereby continuing to promote a safe vacation destination of "One Happy Island".

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=188.0

Now four years later, we are finally seeing what we hope is only the beginning of official investigating, exposing, and criminally charging those who helped Joran van der Sloot, Paulus van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe in covering up their crimes against Natalee Holloway.

This Aruban citizen has publicly stated what many have cried out for these past four years: Aruba, do something about your corrupt elected officials - from your Prime Minister, your Minister of Justice, and Minister of Tourism, to your Public Prosecutor, your Law Enforcement Officers, and your Judicial Bench.

YOU can make a change. YOU can ensure that your homeland turns itself around, punishes the guilty, and affirms that the message this injustice sent to your youth - that crime can and will go unpunished on Aruba - gets stopped now.

Your public outcry insisting on righting this wrong, on demanding just punishment against those who abducted and murdered Natalee Holloway, and those who enabled their freedom from such punishment are brought before Lady Justice, one and all, is imperative.

Send a message to your elected officials that their actions must reflect clear and concise measures of morality, good will, integrity and conformance to the law. Let them know that should their actions fall short of these things, that you the people will not tolerate it. That you will no longer suffer the consequences of their corrupt decisions and actions.

Aruban citizens, we urge you to send letters encouraging, pleading, and demanding a just and right investigation, including criminal prosecution of these foul perpetrators, to the Dutch investigators currently looking into these things.

Take a stand, and right this wrong. For Natalee Holloway. For her family.

And for yourselves and the future of your island.

Aruba's Moral Crisis

Where ever you go today, you are always able to hear something negative about the dire situation on the island of Aruba.

If it's not coming from your radio or television, it's the local newspapers filled everyday with articles that make it clear of this somber reality that according to many has really gone out of hand. These are not just ordinary complaints or political rants addressing a particularly bad situation. Unfortunately it is the ugly truth that we are all experiencing on this "one happy island" of Aruba today. Teen pregnancy has reached alarming and critical numbers apparently twice as large as the numbers presently at hand in Holland. The latter supposedly the country that many here in Aruba, including our Prime Minister and his popular sidekicks the Ex Minister of Justice and the Minister of Health call our "Mother Country" lacking in strong religious and moral conviction and lost in it's liberal ways with it's free sex, homosexual marriage, child pornography and it's drug abuse gone ramped and available everywhere in the Netherlands. These people are in the frame of mind that here in Aruba we are living in a super fantastic Utopia, where none of these undesirable things happen, this because of their own and their prestigious party's high moral and religious convictions. They believe they have all of these minor local problems very much under control as they all themselves live a healthy and wholesome life.

The Irony and cruel reality unfortunately is that here in Aruba our government employees and the government itself over the last few years have been constantly under suspicion and are presently being investigated by the Dutch government (as the local Aruban government and Dept. of Justice would not look into this for 8 consecutive years) for being involved in obscure businesses, fraud and scandal in different departments of the government.

Armed robbery cases, sometimes with bloody consequences in the light of day all around the island, the homeless drug addicted vagrant "choller" phenomenon is reaching it's highest numbers and keeps growing and is already to be seen at the high rise hotels. The stealing in and of automobiles, theft in commercial establishments and home invasions are happening more then ever all over the island. Many of these are done by our own local youth and this unfortunately has become a common occurrence. We have reached the point where everyone already ask themselves daily, "when will I be next"?

Where did things go wrong? Why does it seem that we never have a solution in place or one that soon will be implemented, for any of our social problems. Who will take responsibility for this fiasco and obvious failure to see or address these very apparent social problems.

Perhaps it was the rising of crude prices? or do we blame it on Henny Eman and his "gang" of the AVP party? Was it the Minister that was not available for health reasons and has since past away, is he to blame? Oh no, it was Tico, he single-handedly took care of this! Perhaps it's our antiquated and liberal Dutch laws? No, it's Andin Bikker the "Capitalist Straw Man", who did know how to break the monopoly in telecommunications on the island -where the big, fat and lazy government owned entity loved to over charge us all for a very long time on the island. Or was it Digicel? Is it the introduction of AZV our national health insurance or was it the racetrack or Ralph Sanchez perhaps? Or is it the crazy American Tourist who come to the island in droves and love to buy drugs and get high and make a scene everywhere they go? It's probably the devil worshipping cults that are recently invading and corrupting our Aruban teens. No it is the Colombian, Venezuelan, Dominican and the rest of these "Latinos" who we have been importing during the last few years to do the work, they are the ones to blame for this chaos here in Aruba.

Sorry folks, I believe it is none of the above. It is us, we the people of Aruba,
"The Original Aruban", we are to blame, we let things go out of hand and let this happen to our country and to ourselves.

The love for money and the yearning for living a larger life while having everyone around you work hard and possibly even suffer to make just a little bit. The lack of brotherly love and the sense of entitlement as to own and take things that you know are not yours, does not belong to you, do not deserve and was never yours to begin with, but knowingly keep it to yourself or keep abusing of this one sided situation anyway, as you believe that you deserve it and have the right to it. At hand is the "Live and Let Die " , "Greed is Good", instead of the "Live and Let Live" mentality. All of this with a corrupt governmental and judicial environment has unfortunately distorted the moral compass of the Aruban society.

And now what? Do we pray to God, Mother Mary, the Buddha, Saints Peter? Will this bring the solution? Or should we forget all our problems by ignoring the situation by the use and abuse of alcohol, drugs and partying on with no end every weekend. Who's is here this weekend? Double R, Diomedes Diaz, Earth, Wind and Fire, perhaps Jamie Foxx: "Blame it on the A, A, A, A, A Alcohol Baby.....?

No people, the solution starts with ones self.

Demand, what you do have the right to, in a well balanced society.

That is a peaceful life, living in harmony and coexistence with nature and your fellow man, all under the watchful eye of the Lord All Mighty. This should be demanded and expected from anyone who sits down in the new government seat.

What future would we have if it all stays the same and everything stays in the hands of those whom party in their private club and today own many things that 8 to 12 years ago they did not have, including nightclubs, sports bars, buildings "all inclusive" meaning already prearranged and signed with a convenient government long lease at exaggerated high rates and all this without having invited tenders nor legal contracts, hotel spa's, crazy high salaries for friends and family all these part of the Exclusive Elitist Club. Many of these do not even have to set foot at the government or government allied job for years, the traveling all over the world anytime there is an issue at hand in the parliament that these elected representatives have to face and resolve and therefor don't confront, not to mention the making available to these Ministers of government employees as to captain and maintain their personal yachts and to work on their political campaigns for this "private club of humble capitalist" working in a democracy of the people, for the people, by the people?

How embarrassing...

Please deceive someone else.

How sweet it is!

4 more years, 4 more years, 4 more years!

Wake up folks...

Hans Mos

2008-09-24T06:35:00.000-07:00

Aruban Prosecutor ~ Or Sabateur?

Dutch Prosecutor Hans Mos rode into Aruba with his guns blazing, but like so many Dutch officials before him he has yet to prove his mettle.

Ever since Natalee Holloway disappeared from the island of Aruba, a long line of Dutch government officials and judicial officers have proven that there is no honor or justice in the Aruban legal and judicial system, beginning with former Aruban prosecutor Karin Janssen, Police Commissioner Jan van der Straten and Detective Dennis Jacobs, who made highly dubious decisions including the lack of a timely detention of prime suspects Joran van der Sloot and Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, which afforded them 10 days to dispose of all forensic evidence. Also, the supposed search of the van der Sloot residence – a search that was thwarted by another Dutch judicial, Judge Bob Wit, who limited the warrant on the spot to exclude the main residence and property surrounding the van der Sloot home. A few months later Dutch Judge Rick Smid would release the three suspects unconditionally despite the fact they each had radically different stories of what happened the night Miss Holloway disappeared and admittedly lied to Aruban police officials.

What has become painfully apparent throughout the case is that those Dutch officials seemingly have no integrity when it comes to policing their fellow countrymen on Aruba- no matter how dire the crime. Prosecutor Hans Mos seems to be simply the latest proof in this long line of deception with an apparent lack of moral compass and judicial prudence. Mos talked a good game, but failed to deliver and his statements and lack of action now look like just more lies.

The recorded statements made by Joran van der Sloot to an independent undercover agent in which he admitted he had Miss Holloway disposed of at sea - without knowing for certain if she was deceased at the time - seemed a sure fire nail in the coffin of this Prime Suspect.

Prosecutor Hans Mos went so far as to state that Joran's recorded statements support 80 percent of their investigative file.

Yet, to date, there have still been no formal charges filed against this self-proclaimed murderer.

HANS MOS HAS A HISTORY OF NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH IN THE NATALEE HOLLOWAY CASE

Why hasn't Hans Mos filed a complaint against the Judges who gave preferential treatment to the suspects? Why has he simply rolled over for these judges who just happened to be friends and colleagues of Paulus van der Sloot? Is Hans Mos part of the conspiracy?

Jossy Mansur - NANCY GRACE - 10/04/05
GRACE: Jossy, regarding the connection, what I perceived to be a close connection between the judge, Paulus Van Der Sloot and the retired chief of police who initially handled Natalee`s case, Van Der Stratten, were they friends?

MANSUR: Of course, they were friends. It stands to reason they were friends because Paul Van Der Sloot had many friends within the police department; he had many friends within the Department of Justice. And he had many friends with -- and he was friendly with all the judges in Aruba. He worked out of the same office as they did and did the same work.

Paulus van der Sloot - Pauw & Witteman Show - 01/11/08
Paulus:Well look uhhhh… Mister De Vries can’t hear that good… If he would have listened carefully he would have heard that Joran said that he didn’t have any confidence in the OM (public pros.)! That’s what Joran has said. Joran didn’t talk about the judicial authorities. What you see now.., what has happened is that luckily we have judicial authorities… And we sit here again! So in the end it’s because of the judicial authorities that all has ended well.

THE SUPERIOR COURT RULING: PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT RELEASED BY HIS FELLOW JUDGES

Paulus van der Sloot was released on June 26, 2005 following four days in detention. A ruling by a judge in the Aruban court reversed his suspect status in regards to the Natalee Holloway case. Paulus then sued for compensation claiming he was wrongfully detained and he was subsequently awarded compensation by an Aruban court. However, the award was appealed by the prosecutor.

In January of last year, the Superior Court reversed the compensation that was awarded Paulus van der Sloot. The Superior Court ruled that there was taped evidence as well as a declaration by Paulus which implied, according to witnesses, that he had picked up Natalee and Joran at McDonalds on the morning of May 30, 2005. The ruling of the Superior Court was that Paulus van der Sloots detention was indeed justified.

Superior Court - 01/2007
The possible involvement of Paulus with that could then be deducted from the file with the official reports of witnesses, amongst which two people suggested a contact existed between Paulus and Natalee Holloway the night of her disappearance, and a taped report (that was given by the Prosecutor in her final note 1 to the Court). The taped information and his declaration that he picked up Joran and Natalee by the McDonalds Palm Beach and brought them to the Holiday Inn, are clearly understood by the Dept. of Justice, and could in the judgement of this Superior Court, be considered as an indication of the involvement of Paulus in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

CARIBBEAN COURT OF JUSTICE - CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT
http://www.caribbeancourtofjustice.org/codeofethics.html

I. PROPRIETY

1.3 A judge shall avoid close personal association with individual members of the legal profession, particularly those who practice in the judge’s court, where such association might reasonably give rise to the suspicion or appearance of favouritism or partiality.

1.4 A judge shall avoid the use of the judge’s residence by a member of the legal profession to receive clients or other members of the legal profession in circumstances that might reasonably give rise to the suspicion or appearance of impropriety on the part of the judge.

1.9 A judge shall not allow the judge’s family, social or other relationships improperly to influence the judge’s judicial conduct and judgment as a judge.

1.10 A judge shall not use or lend the prestige of the judicial office to advance the private interests of the judge, a member of the judge’s family or of anyone else, nor shall a judge permit others to convey the impression that anyone is in a special position improperly to influence the judge in the performance of judicial duties.

Why hasn't Hans Mos charged the suspects and brought them to trial? Joran van der Sloot admitted to molesting Miss Holloway while she was unconscious, which is a felony under Aruban law. He also admitted to disposing of her body, not knowing whether she was alive or deceased. Under Aruban law, that is Manslaughter at the very least.

WHY HASN'T HANS MOS CHARGED JORAN VAN DER SLOOT?

HANS MOS – PROSECUTOR, OR JUST ANOTHER STALL MERCHANT IN A CORRUPT LEGAL SYSTEM

Hans Mos ABC NEWS November 26, 2007
Hans Mos, Aruba's chief prosecutor, told ABC News he believes the the new evidence makes the case against the three men stronger than it was two years ago. "We are convinced if we had had this evidence we have now they would not have been released by the court at that time," Mos said.

HANS MOS STATES THAT HE KNOWS JORAN DISPOSED OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY, YET HAS TAKEN NO ACTION

DIARIO Aruba 02/05/2008
What was very important in this case, according to Mos, is that Joran said that they threw the girl at sea, without being certain if the girl was truly already dead. Legally, this means that Joran could be accused of murder and all variants related to this. Aside from this, Joran chose not to call police or an ambulance. The press brought forth that the supposed public phone that Joran would have used is one that uses credit cards and Mos said that they are investigating this.

OM Aruba investigates ‘Joran’s confession’ After having seen the recordings, Hans Mos said that ‘the truth is going to be revealed’ and that he ‘can actually close the case’. All the OM in Aruba said: This information can to a great extent contribute to the mystery around the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Police and OM are currently investigating the trustworthiness and value of the information received.

Hans Mos On the Record with Greta November 27, 2007
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: Breaking news from Aruba, Joran van der Sloot ordered to stay behind bars for at least eight more days. Now, the Kalpoe brothers already got the same news last week. Now, all three suspects were re-arrested. Why? The prosecutor has now charged all three with voluntary manslaughter of Natalee Holloway.

MOS: And this decision to re-arrest these three suspects was a decision taken by 10 lawyers, by 10 lawyers sitting around a table (INAUDIBLE) whole afternoon, being presented the new material.

ARUBAN OFFICIAL SAYS HOLLOWAY SUSPECT REFERRED TO HER AS DEAD IN INTERNET CHAT
Oranjestad, Aruba - Aruba's chief prosecutor says one of three suspects in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway wrote during an Internet chat session that the teenager was dead. Prosecutor Hans Mos refused to identify the person who wrote the message. But he told a news conference today that the discovery contributed to the decision to rearrest Joran van der Sloot and brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe last month. The men were subsequently released after they refused to speak to authorities about newly uncovered evidence. The Aruba Public Prosecutor's Office said Tuesday it would not charge any of the three unless new evidence surfaces. http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5ji_lrY1LnUJC4blDU3WqVxbERywQ

Prosecutors to detail evidence against Holloway suspects Associated Press - December 20, 2007 2:23 PM ET
ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) - Prosecutors in Aruba are releasing evidence from the investigation into the disappearance of an American teen.

The country's chief prosecutor says the file includes an Internet chat session in which 1 of the three top suspects in the case said Natalee Holloway is dead.

The Alabama high school student vanished during a May 2005 vacation in Aruba with her graduating class. Her body has never been found.

The prosecutor didn't reveal the identity of the person who wrote the message. But he said its discovery helped lead to the recent decision to re-arrest the three suspects. All three have since been released.

The Aruba Public Prosecutor's Office said this week it won't charge them. Prosecutors say the re-arrests had been warranted by the circumstantial evidence. Those include witness statements saying the suspects had been behaving strangely in the hours after Holloway vanished.

They have said they still believe the trio was somehow involved in Holloway's disappearance, but can't prove it because no body has turned up.

The Associated Press Published: December 8, 2007
Prosecutor Hans Mos said he does not anticipate ever finding Holloway's remains. "It's very hard to try a case without a body," he said. "It's not impossible, but you need substantial evidence that somebody was killed."

Former suspect in Holloway disappearance regrets no trial December 23, 2007

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/12/23/europe/EU-GEN-Netherlands-Aruba-Missing-Teen.php

Prosecutor's Press Release December 18, 2007

Public prosecutors on the island closed their investigation Dec. 18, saying they believed Holloway was dead but they did not have enough evidence to prosecute Van der Sloot or two other former suspected accomplices of a crime in her disappearance.

Since the release of all three suspects the Public Prosecutor’s Office has diligently considered and weighed all available evidence. It came to the opinion that the investigation did not bring about sufficient evidence to convince a Court of law that a crime of violence against Natalee Holloway has been committed, nor that her death has been caused by involuntary actions by either of the suspects. Neither was sufficient evidence gathered for sexual abuse. The Public Prosecutor’s Office expects that if this case would be tried in court it would lead to an acquittal of all three suspects on these various charges. Given that expectation the Public Prosecutor could no longer press charges against all three. It is contrary to the professional conduct to prosecute someone if the prosecutor himself expects an acquittal. http://www.nbc13.com/gulfcoastwest/vtm/news.apx.-content-articles-VTM-2007-12-18-0004.html

I do know that Hans Mos from the moment Peter R. de Vries has been showing him the tapes has been working incredibly hard to get the evidence on the table that Joran did not only dispose of a body (carries a maximum jail sentence of 6 months in Holland), but to find the evidence that Joran can be accused of “murder” or “manslaughter” because it became clear from his confession that he never checked if Natalee was really dead. http://patrickvandereem.nl/uncategorized/the-ongoing-boycot-aruba-saga/

HANS MOS KNOWS PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT LIED TO THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND THEN TRIED TO COLLECT MONEY

Superior Court El Diario - 02-14-2007
The whole case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway gets a different twist now that the information has come out from no less than the Superior Court, and in which mention is made of the declarations of witnesses and a phone tap that show or give an indication that Paul van der Sloot had on two occasions personal contact with Natalee during the night that she disappeared. Mention is made that, according to one or more official reports of the phone tap and also the declaration of Paul van der Sloot himself, that Paul fetched Joran and Natalee at McDonald and took them to the Holiday Inn. Based on this information, the judicial authorities and the police had at that time a justified basis to arrest Paul van der Sloot based on different suspicions.

NEWLY REPORTED WITNESS ACCORDING TO DIARIO NEWSPAPER MIGHT HAVE INFORMATION PERTINENT TO THIS CASE - WILL MOS CHECK HIS STORY OUT?

Diario Aruba, September 9, 2008
"Even though Prosecutor Mr. Mos and also the Van Der Sloot family, want to or not, this gives a complete turnaround in the whole investigation. Today DIARIO focuses on the first part of the declaration of the witness. What is being published today is what the local authority (e.o. Prosecutor Mos) know from him, since they have his signed declaration."

"DIARIO again wants to put emphasis on the fact that Prosecutor Mos has knowledge of this part, but doesn't know what he did with it. The second part which will appear soon in the DIARIO contains information that the Prosecution of Aruba has no knowledge of at this point, simply because every time the witness gave his declaration he was pushed into a corner of fear for reprisals." "IN another article, DIARIO will show how Prosecutor Mos paid little attention to this witness and on the contrary, tried to discredit him. This makes you wonder: Is it true that they want to protect Van der Sloot cost what it may?"
(Tranlsation Credit: Diario)

HANS MOS, SENT FROM HOLLAND TO GLOSS OVER THE INVESTIGATION?

In an A & E Mysteries "What Happened to Natalee Holloway?" television interview with news journalist Bill Kurtis ( air date September 19,2008) Hans Mos states that he has seen no evidence of a cover-up, thinks Aruba did all it could to solve the case, and blamed the U.S. media for disrupting the investigation.

After all the evidence that has come to light over the past three and a half years that shows otherwise, does this sound like a prosecutor trying to solve the Natalee Holloway case - or one who is looking to place blame on the FAILURE of the investigation at someone else's feet?

*Why has Aruban Prosecutor Hans Mos refused to prosecute the case when he clearly has Joran dead to rights on kidnapping and rape charges?

*Why has Aruban Prosecutor Hans Mos refused to prosecute Joran van der Sloot on Manslaughter charges?

*Why has Aruban Prosecutor Hans Mos refused to take on the friends of Paulus van der Sloot in the Dutch judicial system?

*Why has Aruban Prosecutor Hans Mos failed to tackle the corruption in his legal and judicial system?

*Is Aruban Prosecutor Hans Mos simply another pawn in the apparent corrupt legal system? Is he just stalling the case until he can return to Holland like so many before him?

HANS MOS COULD CHARGE THE SUSPECTS AND FORCE THE ARUBANS TO ALLOW NATALEE'S BODY TO COME HOME - TO THE U.S. WHERE SHE BELONGS!

Sanitizing The Vehicle

2008-07-09T07:29:00.000-07:00

Too Little Too Late, Or Bait and Switch?

Many questions have been raised about the vehicle Natalee Holloway was last seen in - the Silver Honda Civic owned by Deepak Kalpoe.

It seems there was a concerted effort made to possibly remove or dispose of evidence pertaining to Miss Holloway's demise from that car.

It had been reported that the vehicle in question was inspected in the early days of this investigation - wherein the FBI told Natalee's parents that blood was present in the vehicle.

Considering these suspects could never have anticipated the timely arrival of Natalee's desperate family on the island of Aruba, their immediate efforts to cleanse this car don't appear to have been enough to remove this damaging evidence.

June 01 2005
A high school's senior trip to Aruba went terribly wrong for a local family. The trip ended without Natalie Holloway returning. The 18-year-old went to a nightclub in Aruba with a man she befriended while on the trip. She was last seen in the man's car leaving the club at about 1 a.m. Monday. The man, who lives in Aruba, has been interrogated and his car is in FBI custody.
http://www.nbc13.com/news/4553156/detail.html

8:00 am Tuesday, May 31, 2005 Beth arrives at Bubali Police Station and Deepak's car is parked in the back.
p. 58 Loving Natalee

With this in mind, we then re-visited what has been made available about the disposition of this Honda Civic in the hours and days after Natalee disappeared.

It is highly unlikely Deepak Kalpoe cleaned his car in the middle of the night, and then dropped it at Automotive Enterprises the next night out of sheer coincidence.

A neighbor saw the vehicle being cleaned in the early morning hours of the same night Natalee went missing

“In the early morning hours of Monday morning (May 30th), Deepak methodically and uncharacteristically cleaned his silver Nissan, claiming that it had “ants” in it..."
(source: CIVIL SUIT filed in New York)

In the night time hours of May 30th, Deepak's vehicle was deposited with Automotive Enterprises - a time during which Deepak told law enforcement he was at work

Because I had worked in the past on the car of Deepak, he approached me to keep z/n its car for him in my garage in the "Automotive Enterprises established" at Wayaca for him. I must note that I in the past the car of Deepak had twice left his car in my garage when I worked on it. With the car of Deepak I mean the grey four door private car of the make "Honda Civic".

On your question if Deepak had told me how he knew that the missing American little girl Natalee Ann HOLLOWAY on Monday, 30 May 2005, in the night time hours, had only her identification document (drivers license) and an amount of US $50, =, in her possession, I answer you the following:

At absolutely no moment did Deepak tell me how he knew that missing little girl only had her identity card and US $50, =, in her possession. You must ask it to Deepak
(Witness Statement given by OF Osman August 6, 2005)

By 8:00 am the morning of May 31st, Deepak's vehicle was located at the Bubali Police Station

Does the above activity tell us the following may have occurred with Deepak's vehicle?

Deepak attempts to clean his blood stained vehicle himself in the middle of the night, within mere hours of Natalee going missing?

That attempt did not remove the blood from the vehicle, and a second attempt at cleaning the vehicle was done by Automotive Enterprises when Deepak took his car there the night of May 30th?

When neither of those attempts at evidence removal worked, and the FBI had found blood in that vehicle during an inspection conducted by June 1, 2005, we then have to pose the question:

Whose vehicle was impounded and forensically tested on June 9, 2005?

Below is a photo of the front of the Kalpoe home, taken on June 9 2005 after the two brothers Deepak and Satish had been taken in by Aruban law enforcement, and after Deepak's silver Honda Civic was purportedly seized by authorities.

CBS News: Suspect Knew Natalee http://nataleeholloway.tripod.com/

Whose silver Honda Civic is that pictured outside the Kalpoe home after another Honda Civic was seized by authorities?

The following are pictures of Deepak Kalpoe's Honda Civic - note the number of spokes in the wheels

Here now is the Honda Civic Aruban police seized in the early morning hours when Deepak and Satish were arrested - note the difference in the number of spokes in the wheel from Deepak's Honda Civic

Was the car Natalee Holloway was last seen in the one seized by authorities on June 9 2005?

Or was another car taken in its place?

Where did this second silver Honda Civic come from, and to whom did it belong?

Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!

Was Natalee Holloway Drugged?

2008-04-11T11:04:00.000-07:00

YOU BE THE JUDGE

Joran van der Sloot shows the world in his recorded conversations with Patrick van der Eem the convulsions Natalee Holloway had while he was with her.

He then goes on to explain how he called for assistance - not to aid her - but to dispose of her at sea.

Taking it one step further - Joran van der Sloot admits to Patrick that Natalee may not have actually been deceased at the time she was taken out into the ocean.

Logical minds question the necessity Joran felt in assuring Natalee Holloway was never to be found. What could have happened that would make Joran feel it was imperative to hide Miss Holloway from the world - either alive or deceased?

Reasonable conclusions lead us to believe there was evidence about her person that would have sealed the fate of Joran van der Sloot in a court of law - had she been found.

What could that evidence have been?

If there had been a consensual sexual encounter between Joran and Natalee, his biological presence found with her could have been explained as such - therefore nullifying any need to dispose of Natalee.

If, however, Natalee Holloway had been administered a drug rendering her unable to give consent - that evidence combined with a biological deposit from Joran would indicate rape.

As Joran claimed to have been studying criminal justice, naturally the consequences of what he had done would have been forefront in his mind, thus leading to a plan to dispose of Natalee.

Did Joran van der Sloot drug Natalee Holloway?

YOU BE THE JUDGE

We have previously shown the actions that lead us to believe Joran had targeted Miss Holloway for the purpose of a sexual conquest. When his motives are considered, it makes the possibility of drugging Natalee even more prevalent. http://nataleesfreebirds.blogspot.com/2007/03/arubas-predators.html

Medical experts share their knowledge of possible results from ingesting a date rape drug

ABC News Law & Justice Unit
Feb. 15, 2008

Medical experts tell ABC News that the description Joran van der Sloot gave of convulsions apparently experienced by Natalee Holloway on the night she disappeared could be consistent with the date rape drug GHB, and not simply alcohol intoxication.

Doctors and pharmacologists who spoke to ABC said that it's in general unlikely that alcohol poisoning alone could have caused the otherwise healthy Alabama teen to convulse the way Van der Sloot described it to a man who he believed was a friend but who was actually working undercover for a Dutch investigative journalist.

Convulsions 'Consistent' With Date Rape Drug "
If you gave me a choice based on [Van der Sloot's description of the convulsions], alcohol would be lowest on the list and GHB the highest," said Paul Doering, distinguished service professor of pharmacy practice at the University of Florida's College of Pharmacy. "Chronic alcoholics who suddenly discontinue the use of alcohol can experience convulsions, but it's generally not part of the acute toxic phase of alcohol poisoning,'' Doering said. "When people die from alcohol alone, the levels [of alcohol] get so high that they essentially tell the body's respiratory center to stop. They just stop breathing."
"When GHB [gamma hydroxy butyrate] was at its peak use, 10 years ago, [convulsions] would be a commonly reported thing," Doering said, adding that witnesses to GHB overdoses described a person as "looking like he was dead, and then, scarily, he would start shaking like a mackerel on the deck of a fishing boat."

Paul Kolecki, of the emergency medicine department at Thomas Jefferson University's Jefferson Medical College, concurred that in general convulsions were more likely the result of a drug and alcohol combination. "It doesn't happen with alcohol but with GHB it can happen, " he said. "GHB was used by anesthesiologists back in the '50s or '60s, and they had to stop because they were seeing these convulsions," he said. "To convulse and go limp, GHB is classic for that," he said, adding that other drugs like cocaine and ecstasy can also cause convulsions when mixed with too much alcohol.

Here we will explore the opportunity available to Joran for administering a drug to render Miss Holloway unconscious.

Jossy Mansur confirms that Joran van der Sloot has a history on the island of drinking, gambling, and most importantly SLIPPING PILLS INTO GIRLS’ DRINKS. http://thepoliticalteen.net/2005/08/02/jossy-mansur-jvds-has-a-history/

VAN DER SLOOT: "I mean it's happened probably 20, 20 times nothing has ever gone wrong."

June 9, 2005
Satish Kalpoe's attorney, David Kock, said his client told him that van der Sloot asked the Kalpoe brothers to pick him up Sunday night so he could meet up with Holloway and her classmates at Carlos'n Charlie's, a popular watering hole in the capital, Oranjestad.
They said they left the bar around 1:30 a.m. with van der Sloot and an intoxicated Holloway in the back seat, then stopped briefly at another restaurant about a block away before heading out of town, Kock said. http://www.al.com/news/birminghamnews/index.ssf?/base/news/1118481459238090.xml&coll=2 http://gwinnettdailyonline.com/GDP/archive/article7CC45D48DBE746FDAC4CA487F0C3448B.asp

Then Natalee said that she also wanted to drink a Jellyshot but the bartender told me that that bar was closed. After that Natalee and me walked to another bar that was still open at that time. I asked the bartender two shots of Bacardi 151. I still had the whisky coke in my hand. Natalee asked me if she should drink the Bacardi 151 in one go. I answered her affirmatively and she answered me that she would do it in two. Natalee said to me that she needed a "chaser" in order to drink the Bacardi. Natalee drank my whisky coke as a "chaser" and then she drank the Bacardi 151 in two goes

Dave Holloway
NBC/13 Birmingham (Paraphrased)
Believes that the confession is true. Does not believe that Deepak and Satish are not involved. He believes that their involvement will come forward very soon. He is talking about what happened in Carlos and Charlie's the night that Natalee disappeared. Says that there is a back bar at C&Cs and that Natalee was steered to that bar at last call. He had a friend monitor that bar on several nights in succession. At last call guy would order two drinks bartender would pour two drinks normally and would then reach to a shelf over his head and pour a clear substance into one of the drinks.

There is ample reason to think that not only Joran, but the Kalpoe brothers as well disposed of evidence that was the means of administering such a date rape drug to Natalee.

After that Natalee, Satish and myself walked outside because Carlos & Charlies was almost empty. Outside I met an American tourist and he asked me if he could get my cup for free. I threw out the little cola that was still left in the cup and then I gave it to the tourist.

Deepak Kalpoe
Suspect Statement
June 11 2005
As to your question how far I drove into the afore mentioned street, I can say the following, I think I drove about 55 yards into that street. Joran said that I should let him out there. After that I brought my car to a full stop. Joran got out first and then the girl. He said: Fine, I will see you tomorrow. I asked him how he would get home. He said that he would find a way to get home. I said, and the girl. He answered, I will drop her off at the “Holiday Inn Hotel”, we will walk along the beach and it is very close by. I had asked him, sure. He answered yes, I will see you tomorrow. I do remember that I saw them walking off hand in hand. I drove out of the street to get back onto the road and proceeded driving into the direction of my house. I do remember that in front of the “Marriot Hotel” Satish asked me to stop momentarily. I did what he asked me, Satish rolled down his window and threw out the two “Yards”. After that we drove until we got to the roundabout near “Texaco Sasakr”. At the roundabout I headed due east in the direction of my house at Hooiberg.

Although Joran van der Sloot claims to have been lying to Patrick van der Eem when he described Miss Holloway's physical condition the morning of May 30th 2005, along with her ultimate fate - there is evidence to support those admissions.

JUG TWITTY:
“I know several times when they interviewed me the polis down there they kept asking me about Natalee, different questions about her, if she was an epileptic, and just crazy things like that. So it very well could have been that they took her out, they put something in her drink, she flipped out and she died. But if that's the case I don't understand if they don't know anything about it why didn't they come help Beth and I look the next morning? Why did they tell us they dropped her at the Holiday Inn when they really dropped her at the beach. It just doesn't make sense.”

On The Record February 4, 2008
Greta:
Where did the police get that seizure bit if they didn't get it from Joran when they picked him up?
John: I can't imagine any other place, I mean this was right after they had originally interviewed Joran and both Jug and Beth recall at least four (4) investigators asking them whether Natalee had epileptic seizures in the past or any sort of seizure history at all. van der Straaten, Jacobs, Tromp and a female investigator all repeatedly asked both Jug and Beth "does Natalee have any history of this' and they didn't just make that up, they obviously got it from somewhere.

Beth Holloway
February 7, 2008
HOLLOWAY: I couldn't believe it because, I mean, it was so stunning, it was so stunning that I was hearing these words that Joran was saying because two- and-a-half years ago, gosh, Greta, within 48 hours of Natalee's disappearance — 48 hours — the lead detective, Dennis Jacobs, came to me in the Bubali (ph) police station and says, Does Natalee have a history of epilepsy or seizures? And I thought, No, why are you asking that? And he did it — they did it repeatedly to Jug. And when I was hearing that, it just — it just felt like it brought everything full circle of what we had been fighting for.

Along with Joran's statements we see that he went out on the evening of May 29, 2005 with the intent to hook up with the Mountain Brook girls at a nightclub in Aruba named Carlos n' Charlie's. Even though Joran is underage he illegally enters Carlos n' Charlie's and has arranged for Deepak and Satish Kalpoe to go with him.

“I have a VIP pass. With my VIP pass Deepak and Satish were also allowed in.”

The whole case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway gets a different twist now that the information has come out from no less than the Superior Court, and in which mention is made of the declarations of witnesses and a phone tap that show or give an indication that Paul van der Sloot had on two occasions personal contact with Natalee during the night that she disappeared. Mention is made that, according to one or more official reports of the phone tap and also the declaration of Paul van der Sloot himself, that Paul fetched Joran and Natalee at McDonald and took them to the Holiday Inn. Based on this information, the judicial authorities and the police had at that time a justified basis to arrest Paul van der Sloot based on different suspicions. (Translation Credit: Diario)

ACCORDING TO THE LAW: MURDER/MANSLAUGHTER

Murder is a form of homicide committed with malice aforethought. Malice aforethought has various definitions, all of which relate to the state of mind of the person who commits murder. Those definitions are:

a.intention to cause grevious injury and death resulted;

b.conduct with a "depraved heart" showing lack of care for human life;

Under Dutch law, there ARE charges that apply here of obstruction of justice and obstruction of an investigation. Lying, such as when J. SLOOT, DEEPAK and SATISH lied about leaving NATALEE at the “Holiday Inn,” WOULD constitute an obstruction of one or the other kind depending on the lie.

Joran: “I knew she wanted to fuck (talks about Natalee)”

Joran: “I then gave her a bacardi 151 (75% alcohol). She asked for a chaser, I see shes so drunk, but I thought: Im gonna fuck her.”

Joran: “So I said to S&D, drop us on the beach, Ill fuck her”

Joran: “Then she started shaking like crazy... The beach was empty, I walked to her, no reaction, she just kept shaking, NO foam around her mouth”

Joran: “I picked Nat up and put her near the mangrove trees at the mariott. “

At this point Joran is aware that Natalee is in distress, but he does nothing to help her. He doesn't call 911, he doesn't yell for help, he doesn't run to the Marriott and call for anyone to help her.

Involuntary manslaughter exists when a person commits an unlawful killing but does not intend to kill and does not act with the conscious disregard for human life.

Joran: “I started thinking, no one know I even left the house. But I knew this guy I "had" something on, so I phoned him.

Joran: she is in the ocean.

Patrick: how did you know she died?

Joran: I just knew

P: did you try CPR? Joran: I tried everything, I pulled her up

P: how did you know if she was dead? wasn't she in a coma?

J: I didnt know.

P: did you feel her'?

J; no, but it didn't look good...

Joran: I wasn't sure she was dead.

Joran: “I only spent 2 hours with her. I fingerfucked her, she jerked me off, I just wanted to ask her for a blowjob went she started shaking... I didn't lose a nights sleep, I have to look good"

He has her disposed of and doesn't even know whether she is dead or still alive.

Joran: "Even if they find her dead, with my semen in her"

Murder is a form of homicide committed with malice aforethought. Malice aforethought has various definitions, all of which relate to the state of mind of the person who commits murder.

a.intention to cause grevious injury and death resulted;

b.conduct with a "depraved heart" showing lack of care for human life;

* Joran knew Natalee was drunk

* Joran knew Natalee was unconscious and he "had sex with" her.

* Joran doesn't know if Natalee was dead when he disposed of her.

* Joran showed no concern for eighteen-year-old Natalee Holloway's life and had her disposed of in the ocean.

* Joran lied in order to cover up his crime

35. Kept against her will, Natalee was sexually assaulted, was fondled and was touched without her consent by Joran and his accomplices, over and over again, as she drifted in and out of consciousness.

Extradite Joran van der Sloot to the United States to stand trial

Gerard Spong, a prominent Dutch attorney, stated earlier today that there is a very real chance that van der Sloot may win the criminal case, but will be unable to win a civil suit brought by the surviving family members. Since there is an extradition treaty between the Netherlands and the United States, possible damages may be "..far more than he will ever be able to repay. The American system for awarding damages can have devastating results."

The Deposit That Wasn't

2008-02-01T14:06:00.001-08:00

What Was Paulus van der Sloot Really Doing at the Bank?

May 30th 2005 – Paulus van der Sloot stated he made two separate trips to the bank, for the purpose of depositing Joran’s gambling winnings from the night before.

How could Paulus have deposited Joran’s winnings from the night before?

Joran had not won any monies the previous night – he had lost.

Could Paulus have simply tried to use a “deposit” as his excuse for being gone from work on May 30 2005 at around 10:00 am?

Could he have read an official statement given to police by Andre Dos Santos about Joran’s winnings from May 30th, and tried to confuse the issue by saying Joran had won that money on May 29th instead – thus giving himself a plausible reason for going to the bank on May 30th at 3:30 pm?

Paulus was arrested 3 days after Andre gave his statement to authorities, and according to Aruban attorney David Kock, defense attorneys were receiving such statements within 3 or 4 days of them being given.

Did Paulus use information from Andre’s statement to then mislead investigators about his true reason for being at the bank and speaking with Ruth Dijkhoff at 3:30 pm on May 30th?

MAY 29TH - JORAN WINS NO MONEY

JORAN LOSES NOT ONLY HIS SPOT IN THE TEXAS HOLD EM TOURNAMENT, BUT ALSO HIS FATHER'S POSITION

Joran Statement
June 9, 2005

On Sunday, I do not remember the date any more, I went at approximately 16.00 hours, to the "Excelsior Casino" at the Holiday Inn Hotel to play "Texas Hold'm poker". (with this the suspect is talking about May 29th 2005). I went with my father named "Paul van der SLOOT" to the casino. I went to play "Texas Hold'm Poker" with my father. It is a poker game in which you get 7 cards and you have to make a card combination with your best (5) cards. You get 500 U.S. $ of fake money and with this money you play. I was done sooner than my father and I went and hung around in the casino. When it was half time of the game my father wanted to go home to go and babysit my ten year old brother. At my father's request I sat in for him and played "Texas Hold'm poker. I am not sure as to when half time was but I think it was between 19.00 and 20.00 hours. I kept on gambling until I lost too.

MAY 30TH JORAN WINS MONEY

RADISSON HOTEL: Where Joran “won” on May 30th

I remained watching them gamble for a very long time. At some time I saw that "Deepak" walk into the casino and came up to us. At some time, I no longer remember the exact time, Guido, Joran and Deepak left the casino and I stayed behind. Approximately (1) one hour later, Guido returned because he had silver-plate US $100 =, chip. I no longer remember if Guido continued to gamble but I am certain that Joran did. After Joran was done at the poker table he had won approximately US $400 = and cashed in the chips

PAULUS CONTRADICTS JORAN'S OWN STORY ABOUT GAMBLING ON MAY 29TH, BY CLAIMING JORAN HAD WON MONEY

Paulus Statement
June 18, 2005

You are asking me whether I asked Joran for Guido's phone-number. I did indeed do that to verify with Guido if Joran had truly won third place at the Holiday Inn Tournament. Joran had told me he had won third place, he said he had won 150$ and had exchanged these into Aruban Florin. I had my doubts because he hadn't told me he had won the money immediately after winning it. I spoke with Guido at the “Raquet Club” and he told me Joran did indeed win third or fourth place.

THREE DAYS AFTER ANDRE GIVES HIS STATEMENT, PAULUS PASSES OFF ACTIVITIES FROM MAY 30TH AS FACTUAL FOR MAY 29TH AS AN EXCUSE FOR BEING AT THE BANK ON MAY 30TH

Paulus Statement
June 23, 2005

To your question if I tell you all the things I did on that Monday the 30th of May 2005, I can state the following. I went to work. The exact time I cannot remember but I think it was approximately 08.00 hours. I can also remember that around 10.00 hours I went to the C.M.B. bank. There were long cues at the bank so I left without having made any transaction and went back to work.

I left my workplace at approximately 15.00 hours. I arrived at the bank at approximately 15.30. I had gone to the C.M.B. bank that is situated in Noord.

To your question whether I went to the bank without stopping or going anywhere else, I can state the following. I at least cannot remember having been anywhere else. I think I went directly to the bank. At the bank I talked to Ruth DIJKHOFF. At the bank I deposited the money that Joran said that he had won in the “Free Tournament in the Holiday Inn” on the 29th of May 2005. It was approximately 500 Aruban guilders. Joran had given me 100 guilders because he had taken over my place in the tournament.

These inaccuracies make us question the real reason Paulus was at the CMB Bank on Monday May 30th at 3:30 pm, for he certainly was not depositing any gambling winnings of Joran's.

*What, then, was the real transaction that occurred at that bank at 3:30 pm?

*Was a withdrawal made by Paulus?

*If it was an irrelevant transaction, why hide it from investigators?

Unfortunately Ruth Dijkhoff can't tell us what transaction she helped Paulus van der Sloot with at the bank that day, as she was dead two weeks later.

*Were any bank records subpoenaed by the Aruban prosecutor's office?

Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!

Page 4/5 - At the time I was under the guidance/treatment of a psychiatrist. According to statements in the media I had to go there because I supposedly had a violent temper problem, that I was beating up my mother and my brothers, but nothing could be further from the truth.

C. THE EVIDENCE

1. Joran cannot be challenged.

ASSOCIATED PRESS - 01/13/08
At the end of the Pauw & Witteman program, Van der Sloot and De Vries had a testy exchange in which Van der Sloot questioned whether De Vries would "be man enough" to apologize if evidence exonerating him came to light. The live show ended with guests shaking each others' hands. Van der Sloot stood up, then abruptly grabbed a glass of wine and leaned across the table to toss the contents directly in De Vries' eyes at a moment when the reporter was looking down. That segment was broadcast Saturday night by a different news program, Nova. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLyW8zoNU5I

2. Joran demands attention.

JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - SUSPECT STATEMENT - 08/08/2005

3. Joran must not be annoyed.

SANDER GOTTENBOS - WITNESS STATEMENT - 06/16/05
On your question if I was with Joran in the carnivals season when there was an incident, I will explain to you the following: Yes I was with him on that day. On that day there was a parade in Oranjestad. We stood on the bridge at the Wilhelmina Park. That moment a druggie came to us. Joran had given him . The druggie had thrown it on the ground and started annoying us. Joran had called the police force that stood near. The police force had removed the druggie. After a while the druggie returned and started annoying us. He had grabbed Satish at its hand and wanted with him fight. At that moment Joran grabbed him and threw him off the bridge into the water.

4. Joran is a disturbed/sick individual.

DEEPAK KALPOE - SUSPECT STATEMENT - 06/16/05
If you want to find out what happened to the girl and where she is, you have to be with Joran van der SLOOT Joran van der SLOOT is a disturbed/sick person, he has admitted that he is in the care of a psychologist and that he hits his brother. If the police wants more information about Natalee, then you have to be with Joran. He was the last person with the girl, that I can guarantee.

5. Joran is an admitted thief and liar.

JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - DE ZAAK NATALEE HOLLOWAY - CHAPTER 6 - GAMBLING
Page 4/5 - I was undergoing treatment at the psychiatrist, once every five weeks I had to go there, because I had stolen money from my mother and father and had lied about that. I used to lie about a lot of things in those days and I talked to the psychiatrist about that too.

6. Anita van der Sloot: "Problems with Joran are ongoing."

DEEPAK KALPOE - DE ZAAK NATALEE HOLLOWAY - CHAPTER 9 - THE LIES
Page 120/121 - On that same day we went to Joran's home after he called us and told us he was ready at the police. We went to his house around 9 PM. There we found Joran's mother and father in the room. Joran's mother said: “Hello guys come in, I have to rap on your fingers because you are having problems again. With that she meant that a week prior we had a fight at Carlos and Charlies. I had an argument with a guy and the police had come. Joran's mother said: “The last half year Joran is having problems all the time, a few months ago he pushed a guy through a window of the cinema. When that happened i did not know Joran yet. His mother also said that Joran is always in the casinos and that they as parents had not raised him like that. "And now you are in trouble again.

7. Joran is aggressive and destructive.

DEEPAK KALPOE - SUSPECT STATEMENT - 06/08/2005
I can give you a list of the problems that Joran has. He himself has said he had stolen money from his mother. He also says that if his brothers go into his room he beats them. Joran has completely beaten up a guy at Bahia, because according to him the guy had told something about him to the headmaster that was not true. Joran has destroyed more car front windows then any drug dealer on the island. Sometimes when we are out he says: Lets go! If we ask him what is going on he says he has smashed in a front window of a car.

8. Joran is a vandal, thief, troublemaker and defies the law.

DEEPAK KALPOE - DE ZAAK NATALEE HOLLOWAY - CHAPTER 9 - THE LIES
Page 135 - He also has admitted that he has stolen property from tourists several times. He goes to the casino's since he was 16. Everywhere where he sees a fire alarm he has to put it on. He has performed a lot of vandalism in several hotels

9. Joran obstructs justice.

JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - DE ZAAK NATALEE HOLLOWAY - CHAPTER 15 - INSPECTORS FROM THE NETHERLANDS - 08/11/05
Page 225 - Joran is woken at 7:00am for a drug test. He says, "Cell mates quickly provide me with a little bag of urine from someone who had never blowed before. In front of the guard i need to pull the little bag out of my zipper and deposit the content into a small container. I'm very nervous, but i manage to do it. Results are negative. Only two people in the youth department of KIA received severe detention for the use of marihuana, the rest all tested negatively since they used the urine of the boy who had never blowed“

10. I do not realize my own strength!

JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - DE ZAAK NATALEE HOLLOWAY - CHAPTER 15 - INSPECTORS FROM THE NETHERLANDS - 08/28/05
Page 233 - Joran is confronted with a statement by inmate Jose, saying that he and Joran had been in a fight. Joran says it was not a fight, only that he had 'hooked back strongly' on Jose during a soccer match, causing him to fall to the ground.

11. Joran's thoughts turn to violence.

JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - LEAKED POLICE VAN RECORDING
Deepak: That scholarship of yours. Byeeeeeeee. You can forget it.
Joran: Yeah, by who? By you, retard. You know well that you did bad, otherwise you wouldn't lie.
Brothers: aaiaaieaaieeaiee!
Joran: I should have killed you, retard. Shut your trap.

12. So There!

JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - LEAKED POLICE VAN RECORDING
Joran: And also the two guards (the two security guards who were detained the first time?_ guaranteed me that they will kill you when you get out of prison.

13. Joran steals, destroys and lashes out.

JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - SUSPECT STATEMENT - 06/10/05
Before the girl went missing I was also under treatment of a psychologist. This was because I had taken 50 euro's from my dad and also took money from my mother and I used my brothers mobile phone without asking for permission and after that I had broken the chip from his mobile phone. I also once fought with my brother in Miami ...

14. Joran is forced to take Yoga classes. Why?

ANITA VAN DER SLOOT - ON THE RECORD W/ GRETA - 06/23/05
ANITA VAN DER SLOOT: ... And he's just, like, Well, Mom, it's not so bad in here, but if I'm not here, and I'm thinking about you all the time and I'm praying and I'm meditating, because that's something that he went to yoga classes for a while. Of course, he was 16 then, so for him, it was, like, Why do I have to go to yoga?

15. Joran is not a gracious loser.

TITO LACLE - SM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS - 08/12/05
He is known to be very aggressive at times.. Joran that is. At one time he would play domino at a golf course and suddenly start kicking cactus around..

16. Joran's angry nature goes way back.

FREDDY MADURO - PRISON WARDEN - COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - 08/25/05
KOSINSKI (voice-over): … The prison director, Fred Maduro, used to work with Van Der Sloot’s father and knew Joran as a boy. (on camera): Is it strange to see him in this environment? MADURO: Yes, strange in a way, in another way, not, because of his temperament. When he doesn’t get his way, he gets very angry. I know that before, that already he was a very angry person.
KOSINSKI: And did you see some of his temper here in prison?
MADURO: In beginning, yes, with the policemen. But then, afterwards, the policemen really rough him up.
KOSINSKI: And he says Van Der Sloot got into a fight with another inmate.
MADURO: and he kicked a guy, and then he kept kicking in the same place. So, Joran’s pretty big. So, but the guy is small, but smaller than he is. But the guy (INAUDIBLE) hit him in the eye.

17. Joran's parents: "We have no control".

BETH TWITTY - VANITY FAIR ARTICLE - 01/02/06
In the first half-hour, Beth listened as Joran's parents lavished praise on their son, though they eventually admitted they had been having trouble with him. According to Beth, the van der Sloots acknowledged that Joran had been seeing a psychiatrist. "Anita told me that," Beth says. "She was saying they were beginning to have trouble with Joran [for a] defiant attitude. The father acknowledged they could not control him. He would sneak out, go gambling, in the pre-dawn hours. They had no control over him."

18. FBI Profile: Joran controls his family.

GEROLD DOMPIG - VANITY FAIR ARTICLE - 01/02/06
Moreover, Dompig says, this summer F.B.I. profilers completed a detailed psychological evaluation. "He struck us, and the F.B.I., as a guy who can make you believe he's God's gift to mothers-in-law," Dompig says. "But if you look at his actions, he's anything but. The F.B.I. profiled him as a person who never has been corrected by his parents. He's the boss of what happens in that house. He's the boss in the family. He is allowed to do anything.… If a person like that is in a position where a person says, 'No,' well, that person may change completely. Maybe he blew a fuse when she wouldn't have sex with him, and something happened."

19. Joran's mother is not exempt from his temper.

FREDDY MADURO - PRISON WARDEN - SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY - 08/25/06
MADURO: When he doesn‘t get his way, he gets—he gets very angry, and he even slap his mother—no, not really hit her, but used a lot of bad language.

20. FBI Profile: Joran has a sociopathic personality.

KATIE COURIC/BRYAN BURROUGH - GOOD MORNING AMERICAN - 12/07/05
COURIC: So does Dompig think that these three individuals ... these three mena are guilty of the crime? Did he go that far because obviously it is one thing to have that belief and another thing to have sufficient evidence to prove it in a court of law.
BURROUGH: Not only are they the only suspects, but an FBI profile has led to a conclusion on Dompigs part and the FBI that the young man who is at the center of the case, Mr van der Sloot, has a sociopathic personality that would make him a prime suspect. So clearly they believe that's where the answers lie. It is just a question of finding evidence to back it up.

21. Proclivity: predisposition, tendency, proneness

BETH TWITTY/DAVE HOLLOWAY - NEW YORK LAWSUIT - 02/26/06 http://news.findlaw.com/cnn/docs/hway/hwayvds21606cmp5.html
February 16, 2006 Summons and Complaint Elizabeth Ann Twitty and Dave Edward Holloway vs. Joran van der Sloot and Paulus van der Sloot. 14 Joran’s proclivities, at a young age, were known to both of his parents, Paulus Van der Sloot and wife, Anita. 15. As recently as May 2005, Joran was receiving psychological counselling for his problems.

22. Joran's way or else!

CLINT VAN ZANDT - FORMER FBI INTESTIGATION - THE ABRAMS REPORT - 08/25/05
CLINT VAN ZANDT, FORMER FBI INVESTIGATOR: Yes, I mean, Dan, the tape of Joran sitting there in boxer shorts, throw it away. Who cares? You know it‘s one more person in prison. What counts is what you just pointed out. Here is someone who comments on someone who has a significant anger management problem. When he doesn‘t get his way, he loses his temper. He gives his mother grief. He curses at her. He‘s had fights inside the jail. He‘s had arguments and fights with police officers. I mean, you know, does this make him guilty of anything? No, but it suggested this is someone who doesn‘t handle his anger well. He doesn‘t handle rejection well. He wants his way and if he doesn‘t get it, he perhaps goes physical.

23. Physical violence is Joran's first reaction to a contentious situation.

ANITA VAN DER SLOOT - ON THE RECORD W/ GRETA - 06/23/05
VAN DER SLOOT: ... He knew that things were wrong, but — and the girl was missing. But he repeated, She will appear somewhere. And if she does, I'll kick her butt in front of her mom because she brought all of us in trouble. That's what he repeated several times.

D. THE CLOSING STATEMENT - PROSECUTION

"Your Honor, we believe the evidence speaks for itself. Given the history of Joran's past uncontrolled behavior, one needs only to imagine what might have happened to Natalee on the night she said no to Joran."

E. THE VERDICT

PRIME MINISTER NELSON ODUBER

2008-01-11T05:52:00.000-08:00

A MAN OF HIS WORD - OR PART OF THE ARUBAN COVER UP?

When questioned about a cover up taking place, Jorge Pesquera, then President of Aruba's AHATA replied,

"Yes...yes there was." (p. 194 Beth Holloway book Loving Natalee)

Now that the criminal case against the 3 main suspects in Natalee Holloway's disappearance has been closed by Aruban officials, perhaps it is time for Prime Minister Nelson Oduber to make good on his intentions.

On November 9 of 2005, Nelson Oduber stated that he would like an "investigation into the investigation" conducted. He reiterated this intent in late January of 2006.

We agree it is high time for such an investigation.

With the numerous questionable and downright unethical activities of law enforcement, judiciary members, and government officials - Miss Holloway's fellow U.S. citizens request the documented facts that show who played key roles in "making mistakes" in this investigation.

From the detectives involved, to the initial prosecutor handling differing suspects and witnesses in different manners, to the judges ruling inconsistently and in a biased manner - we agree with Aruba's Prime Minister, in that there is definite cause for an in-depth look into these actions.

ORANJESTAD(AAN): Dutch criminal law experts recently expressed big criticism about the Aruban police investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway They call the investigation methods strange and unprofessional.

“It is incomprehensible that police, after an important tip about the location of Natalee Holloway’s body, to not go search immediately.” ~ criminal law scholar of the University of Amsterdam, Menno Dolman

“This is very strange. Normally the area is closed off immediately, to dig and search for clues, but not in Aruba.” ~ legal psychologist, Peter van Koppen

“Total madness. “This is a total error.” ~ criminal law expert of the University of Leiden, Hans Nijboer

“The media is the last option for investigators, you do not give out information that only the guilty could know.” ~ criminal law scholar of the University of Amsterdam, Menno Dolman

Oduber wants the discrepancies in the Holloway-case be investigated ARUBA -- After the Holloway-case is closed, Prime Minister Nelson Oduber (MEP) wants a thorough investigation be conducted on the course of everything that had to do with the investigation on the disappeared American teenager, especially the begin phase. He thinks that mistakes were made especially in this phase.

*Will Prime Minister stand true to his own words?

*Will he finally authorize an unbiased agency to conduct an investigation into the persons and activities associated with this case?

*Will Aruba open their dossier to a competent investigative team for all the world to see what “mistakes” were made and by whom?

Prime Minister Nelson Oduber has made numerous differing statements about his true feelings about Natalee Holloway, her family, and his country’s investigation into her disappearance.

*Will the world finally be able to see if Aruba's Prime Minister is a man of his word?

*Does he finally realize that coming clean with the truth about this investigation will be the first step in repairing Aruba’s damaged tourism numbers?

"We've been working 50 years, day and night, to build up tourism," Oduber said last week. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,160064,00.html

JUSTICE JACOB "BOB" WIT

2007-12-10T16:51:00.000-08:00

RICK SMID- ARUBA’S DIRTIEST JUDGE

2007-12-10T16:28:00.000-08:00

In light of recent actions by the judiciary in this case, we felt another look at the judges past actions was warranted.

The next two publications are being pulled forward from our archives to help answer questions arising about Judge Rick Smid, and Judge Jacob "Bob" Wit.

Many of the judicial rulings by the Dutch judges in the Natalee Holloway case have been highly questionable, some so openly biased in favor of the van der Sloot family they smack of corruption. For instance, when a search warrant was being executed on the van der Sloot home on June 15, 2005 investigators were surprised to find Curacao Judge Bob Wit open the door and inform them their search would not include the main van der Sloot residence or the surrounding property.

Eight days later when Joran’s father Paulus van der Sloot was arrested for "reasonable suspicion" in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, Judge Bob Wit intervened again, disallowing a search of the van der Sloot home. Ironically, no such limitations were ever placed on the search of the homes of two black security guards who were arrested on June 5, 2005. In fact, Aruban police ransacked their homes and perp walked them in front of the media, only later having to release them because there was no evidence that, unlike Joran van der Sloot and Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, they had ever been in contact with Natalee Holloway.

Since when do suspects in a murder investigation get a free pass from having their house searched? Prior to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway it is well known that Paulus van der Sloot had been a Dutch judge in training. Did his connections to the judiciary in Aruba and nearby Curacao have any influence on these rulings by Judge Bob Wit? Judge Bob Wit's early decisions in the Natalee Holloway case would start a chain reaction of pro-Dutch, anti-victim rulings that would eventually free the van der Sloots from facing criminal charges.

JUDGE RICK SMID, ARUBA’S DIRTIEST JUDGE, IGNORES INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE AGAINST THE MAIN SUSPECTS

“Aruba’s Dirtiest Judge” honor, however, goes to Dutch Judge Rick Smid for his extremely questionable rulings in the Natalee Holloway case. This one judge has caused as much damage to the Holloway case being solved as is humanly possible. IT WAS RICK SMID WHO SET THE STAGE FOR JORAN VAN DER SLOOT TO FLEE THE ISLAND OF ARUBA.

Police statements from Joran and the Kalpoe brothers—the last people to be seen with Natalee Holloway-- have revealed many disparities in their accounts of what happened that night she disappeared. In a secretly recorded conversation in a police van on June 25, 2005 the three suspects engaged in heated arguments about who was responsible for Nataleee’s demise, implicating not only each other but Joran’s father Paulus.

It is clear from these tapes and other statements the suspects gave to police, that the three suspects had detailed and intimate knowledge that something bad had happened to Miss Holloway. Joran even described the victim’s undergarments in great detail. Judge Rick Smid chose to completely ignore the fact that the main suspects were telling different accounts of what happened to Natalee that night. Why did judge Smid ignore such glaring and obvious contradictions in the stories of the three suspects? Even the simplest of minds would know that some of the parties were telling lies, indicating a clear measure of guilt.

JOSSY MANSUR, EDITOR DIARIO ARUBA
Monday, November 21, 2005

No one has accused them of murder, but they themselves admitted to police during interrogations that something bad happened to Natalee while she was with them, without specifying what ‘something bad’ was! That they admitted to committing sexual abuse against her.

It is not extensive that the judge who presided over the case and decided that some things were inadmissible. He could be the best judge in the world, but in this case, he made light of and greatly neglected to pay attention to the three suspects’ admissions, since he didn’t even interrogate them about what was left hanging in the air, such as the declaration of Joran at the beach that he believes that Deepak raped and killed Natalee! How did this matter end there? How were the other accusations and counter-accusations among the three suspects not evaluated for their just content?

RICK SMID SHIELDS THE SUSPECTS FROM FURTHER TESTIMONY AND ALLOWS THE MAIN SUSPECT TO FLEE THE ISLAND

Judge Rick Smid was very aware of the discrepancies and inconsistencies in Joran van der Sloot’s and the Kalpoe’s stories when he made several of his rulings in the case. Judge Smid was also aware Joran had lied about dropping Natalee Holloway off at the Holiday Inn, and had told four differing and contradictory stories as to how he got home that night. The Kalpoe brothers to this day disagree with Joran van der Sloot on how he got home early that morning.

In an Aruban court on August 30, 2005 Judge Rick Smid ruled there was enough evidence that Joran van der Sloot should be held in police custody another 30 days. Then Judge Smid does something very unusual. He returns to his office in Curacao and faxes in a reversal of his ruling only hours later. Citing an obscure Dutch case dubbed the “Ponson Rule”, Judge Smid ruled that Joran’s schoolwork was more important than the case of a missing, and most likely, murdered, tourist. It should be noted the Ponson Rule was originally instituted for a baseball player who was involved in a case nowhere near as serious as murder.

As a direct result of Judge Rick Smid's ruling, Joran van der Sloot (to this day the main suspect in Natalee Holloway’s disappearance) was released from police custody on September 3, 2005 and immediately fled the island of Aruba to the safety of Holland three days later.

Less than two weeks later three Dutch Superior Court judges in Curacao delivered their final coup de gras. On September 14, 2005, in a ruling by three Dutch judges from Curacao, Joran van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers were all released unconditionally. This order prevented law enforcement from taking any further testimony from the three suspects in the Natalee Holloway case - despite the fact their accounts of what happened the night Natalee Holloway disappeared in their company are drastically different. Why would these three judges release the three main suspects from giving further testimony when those same judges knew full well the suspects lied to police, with conflicting stories from one suspect to the next?

Rogue Judge Rick Smid's rulings would be a devastating blow to the Natalee Holloway case. When Aruba spokesperson Steve Cohen promised the American public the three suspects would be brought back in for questioning in December 2005, it was revealed they would never have to testify again without new evidence. All of this as a result of Judge Rick Smid's abuse of his position on the bench.

The judge in the case issued two rulings: In the first, he agreed with prosecutors' request to extend the period of van der Sloot's pretrial detention by 30 more days.But later Thursday, the judge issued another ruling that sided with the defense — an order to immediately suspend the execution of his earlier pretrial detention order.

Monday, October 1, 2005

Did the judge who came from Curacao probably plan take the decisions he took, spoiled the case? With all due respect for the position you have taken, have you seen what happened?The case was resolved in phases the same judge planned: first release Paul v.d. Sloot , then he came back to release the Kalpoe brothers and the third phase he executed now when came to set Joran free because Joran expressed his wish to continue his studies. I have similarly not made any accusations of any sort against the Kalpoe brothers; what I have repeated is what can be found in the Polis reports where they started pointing the fingers one against the other! It is in these three phases here that Americans see the corruption of our justice system.

THE DUTCH JUDGES ARE PART OF THE ARUBA "GOOD OLE BOY" NETWORK THAT PROTECTS THEIR OWN

The Aruban government and law enforcement are riddled with good ole boy friendships that usurp their ability to exact justice when one of their own is involved in a crime. It has been rumored that Judge Rick Smid was a close personal friend of Paulus van der Sloot and had stayed in his residence on occasion during his visits to Aruba. Judging by his rulings, this would seem to be the case.

Jossy Mansur points out that the Dutch judges were in collusion all along in an editorial that ran in his newspaper, El Diario Aruba. Given such a biased series of rulings in the Natalee Holloway case it is hard not to believe these judges all worked in unison to deny justice to the American victim in favor of saving their fellow Dutch nationalists' from facing their crimes in a court of law.

To this day Joran van der Sloot is considered the main suspect in the Natalee Holloway case, and his father Paulus was recently denied compensation when it was revealed through a wiretapped conversation he had met Natalee Holloway the same day she disappeared – not once, but twice. It is well known that Paulus van der Sloot is suspected of covering up his son's criminal acts against Natalee Holloway and some believe he had direct involvement in her demise. His lies in police statements concerning his whereabouts the night Holloway disappeared, in addition to stating he had never met Holloway, exposed in court, serve to reinforce such suspicions.

But yet the Dutch have chosen to do nothing in the case even though it is well proven all of the suspects lied as both witnesses and suspects, and thanks to the Dutch judges' orders they will not have to face questioning again without new evidence against them.

NANCY GRACE October 4, 2005

GRACE: … Jossy, regarding the connection, what I perceived to be a close connection between the judge, Paulus Van Der Sloot and the retired chief of police who initially handled Natalee`s case, Van Der Stratten, were they friends?
MANSUR: Of course, they were friends. It stands to reason they were friends because Paul Van Der Sloot had many friends within the police department; he had many friends within the Department of Justice. And he had many friends with -- and he was friendly with all the judges in Aruba. He worked out of the same office as they did and did the same work.

RICK SMID'S HISTORY OF LENIENCE ON CRIMINALS RAISES QUESTIONS OF HIS INTEGRITY AND ABILITY TO SERVE AS A JUDGE. IF RICK SMID WILL DO THIS FOR NON-DUTCH CRIMINALS, IMAGINE WHAT HE WILL DO FOR HIS DUTCH FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS

Rick Smid refuses to have human traffickers and drug dealers arrested:

PHILIPSBURG - Two men considered to be the local organisers of what the Prosecutor’s Office believes to be a Chinese-led human smuggling operation are facing six- and eight-year prison sentences. They were also accused Thursday of involvement in the drug trade, mainly cocaine.The Prosecutor further requested the immediate arrest of both suspects, who had been released from pre-trial detention in April, but this was turned down by Judge Rick Smid. http://news.caribseek.com/Sint_Maarten/The_Daily_Herald/article_50851.shtml

Rick Smid gives human trafficker 38 days in jail:

PHILIPSBURG--While investigations are ongoing into the alleged involvement of a police commissioner in human trafficking, a 28-year-old man was found guilty by the Court of First Instance on Wednesday of having tried to bribe Chief Immigration Officer Ademar Doran.Judge Rick Smid sentenced Stephen Bruney to 180 days, 142 of which to be suspended, with three years’ probation and 200 hours of community service. http://www.thedailyherald.com/news/daily/k024/bribe024.html

IN COWARDLY FASHION, SMID RELEASES THE SUSPECTS UNDER THE MEDIA BLUR OF HURRICANE KATRINA

Had Hurricane Katrina not taken the spotlight off of Aruba, Judge Smid may have reconsidered his ruling. Instead it seems he found the catastrophe the perfect time to make such a bold and suspicious judgment. While American eyes were turned to the Gulf Coast of the U.S., Rick Smid took full advantage to free Joran van der Sloot and allow this suspect’s flight to Holland.

Smid takes advantage of a catastrophe to deal his own damage:

QUESTIONS ABOUT RICK SMID AND HIS FELLOW JUDGE BOB WIT:

*Why would a judge block the search of the home belonging to a suspect in a murder investigation? Was this because Paulus Van Der Sloot was a Dutch judge in training? If not, why were the two black security guards not given the same consideration days earlier when their homes were ransacked by investigators and police?

*Why would Judge Rick Smid rule a suspect be held in custody for another 30 days and reverse his own ruling within hours after he had fled the island of Aruba to his office in Curacao? Was he afraid he might have to explain his ruling to the media while he was still on the island of Aruba? What was Judge Smid afraid of? Why the deception?

*Why did Judge Rick Smid overlook incriminating testimony by a suspect and release him by citing his “schoolwork” as being the more important factor in the case? Since when does a suspect’s "schoolwork" take precedence over finding justice for a murdered tourist? Is it because Joran Van der Sloot is Dutch and Natalee Holloway is merely a missing victim?

*What kind of judge can look at basic, rudimentary statements with conflicting testimonies from three suspects and release them from further questioning by the authorities?

*Why have all these Dutch judges made such favorable rulings in favor of Joran Van Der Sloot, shielding him from further legal action when, in fact, he is the main suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway? Joran Van Der Sloot, who has been diagnosed by both Dutch and U.S. investigators as a "pathological liar", remains free today as a result of such obviously biased rulings.

*What kind of judicial system places favoritism over justice through the use of ambiguous rulings in favor of suspected criminals?

The judges from Curacao, including Rick Smid, have given the Dutch judicial system a black eye worldwide.

"And he (Paulus Van der Sloot) was friendly with all the judges in Aruba. He worked out of the same office as they did and did the same work." ~ Jossy Mansur

2007-11-30T07:55:00.000-08:00

While it is very clear from statements given by the suspects and witnesses in this case that these crimes began with methodical premeditation - can the prosecutor prove the death of Natalee Holloway was also premeditated?

We believe he can. The motive for intentionally killing Natalee Holloway is there in Joran's own words.

"I mean it's happened probably 20, 20 times - nothing has ever gone wrong. "

This time, something went wrong. What was it? Did Natalee resume consciousness at some point during the sexual assaults being committed against her?

Did these suspects then make the conscious decision to kill her to avoid prosecution for kidnapping and rape?

VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS - PREMEDITATED STALKING OF AN AMERICAN TEENAGER

PART 4

Predators are known for telling lies. Look no farther than some of our other infamous killers. This predator, Joran, lied about not previously meeting Natalee, lied about his identity, and told numerous lies about how he got home the morning Natalee disappeared-- yet he says one day he will tell the truth.

Joran and the Kalpoe brothers initially told police investigators they dropped Holloway off at the Holiday Inn where she was staying, but ten days later after being arrested they all changed their stories.

Unfortunately, the investigation had been drastically compromised by the prosecutor and polis who had neglected to arrest these three - knowing these suspects had lied. The Polis knew the "witnesses" lied because within the first 24 hours the Holiday Inn security cameras showed no sign of the Alabama teen having been returned to the hotel.

After admitting he had lied about dropping Holloway off at the hotel, Joran said he left Natalee at the beach near the Marriot hotel, but he continued to lie about surrounding circumstances.

Joran has told four different versions of how he got home that night:

1.The Kalpoes dropped him off at home and drove off with Natalee
2. He left her at the beach and walked home
3. Deepak picked him up from the beach near the Marriott
4. Satish picked him up from the beach.

The Kalpoe brothers deny they ever picked Joran up from the beach. In fact, they state they went home, got on the computer and Satish went to bed because he had school the next day.

Why create the first lie if you are innocent?
Why lie about your identity?
Why the lie about when you met Natalee Holloway?

Police chief Gerold Dompig stated: “Joran Van Der Sloot "lies a lot" and it would take days to recount them all.”

The ‘A Current Affair' interview with Jerry Wagschal, showed Joran stating he would tell the truth one day.

We are still waiting for the truth about what these criminals did to Natalee Holloway.

Joran and his father know what they did to Natalee Holloway.

THE QUESTION ARISES AROUND THE WORLD - WILL THESE NEW ARRESTS EVOLVE INTO A TRIAL AND A CONVICTION?

Joran Van Der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers originally told police they dropped Natalee Holloway off at the Holiday Inn into the custody of a black security guard:

They said they dropped her off at her hotel about 2 a.m. and last saw her being approached by a black man in a black security guard uniform before they drove off, a lawyer for the brothers has said.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159327,00.html

VAN SUSTEREN: Did you actually say that to Deepak, or did you think that?
VAN DER SLOOT: And then that's when we — that's when we made up a story to say, you know, that we didn't — that we dropped her off at the Holiday Inn.
VAN SUSTEREN: Whose idea was it to make up the story, yours or Deepak's?
VAN DER SLOOT: It was — it was kind of both ours. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,186707,00.html

After the original Holiday Inn lie was debunked, Van Der Sloot said he left Holloway at the beach and told four different versions of how he got home.

1. Joran tells police he was dropped off at his house and the Kalpoe brothers, Deepak and Satish, drove off with Natalee Holloway:

One of the trio detained since June 9, the Dutch son of a judicial official, is now saying that his two Surinamese friends — who are brothers — dropped him off at his house after he exchanged e-mail addresses with Holloway and said goodnight, Lejuez said. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159327,00.html

2. Joran tells police he left Natalee at the Marriot beach and walked home:

On the record, Greta Van Susteren Wednesday, August 24, 2005

VAN SUSTEREN: What is it that the phone call at 2:40 in the morning between Joran and your client was about? What were they talking about?
KOCK: Of course, that was not with my client. But my client says that what he was saying was that he was walking home, that he left the girl on the beach and that he's walking home. And afterwards, the call after 3:00 o'clock was to actually call in and say that he got home. So you know, if you look at the distance that it would take you to walk, that also concurs a little bit with the elapsed time between the two phone calls. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,166635,00.html

Vanity Fair article, January 2, 2006

Under questioning, however, Joran did change his story. Instead of leaving Natalee at the Holiday Inn, he now said, the Kalpoes had dropped him and Natalee off at the beach beside the Marriott, a half-mile north of the Holiday Inn; the area is a lovers' lane of sorts. He said Natalee was so drunk she was drifting in and out of consciousness. Joran said he left her at the beach and walked home
http://www.vanityfair.com/commentary/content/printables/060102roco01?print=true

3. Joran tells police Deepak Kalpoe picked him up at the beach near the Marriot:

Joran Van Der Sloot's June 14, 2005 statement to police investigatorS

Deepak had said that I have left my shoes at the Marriott Hotel. Deepak told me not to worry, because he'd pick the shoes up tomorrow for me. I had left a pair of white with blue shoes of the brand "K-Swias" [sic], size "14" on the beach. These shoes I bought in the United States What I also could mention is that during the drive Deepak told me that he was free the next morning that he didn't have to go to work. I told Deepak that I did have school and that I was tired. I was left on May 30th, around 3:45 am at my house by Deepak. During exiting the car I asked him if he was going to go online. Deepak told me yes. Furthermore I had told him that I would call him the next day. I had asked Deepak if he could pick up the shoes that I had left on the beach. Deepak told me that he would pick up the shoes immediately. Then Deepak drove away.

4. Joran tells police Satish Kalpoe picked him up at the beach near the Marriot:

Joran van Der Sloot's June 29, 2005 statement to Aruban police

When I was picked by Satish around quarter to three (02:45am) I was barefoot. I went to sit in front, next to Satish. I don't exclude the possibility that I had sand on my feet. Definitely did white sand from my feet stay behind on the floormat of the Honda. I had left my shoes (sneakers) on the beach. I had told Satish where I had left my shoes (sneakers).

Joran Van Der Sloot says he knows the truth and will tell it one day at his bidding:

Joran Van Der Sloot interview with Carl Wagschal, A Current Affair

WAGSCHAL: Well, I think if you can explain to people what really happened and you were really forthcoming, the more forthcoming you are, the more chance there is of you to get on with your life. VAN DER SLOOT: One day, I will explain exactly what happened. But right now, I don`t -- I don`t feel ready to do that. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0509/28/ng.01.html

PERHAPS JORAN VAN DER SLOOT SAID IT BEST TO CHRIS CUOMO ON ABC PRIMETIME LIVE:

At the same time, he told "Primetime" that his version of events is hard to believe. When asked why, after all the lying he's done, his word should be credible, he said,

"There's absolutely no reason to believe me." "I would probably not believe myself, no."

Joran, the day has now come for you to tell the truth about your role in the disappearance and death of Natalee Holloway.

Or perhaps others are already telling the truth?

VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS - PREMEDITATED STALKING OF AN AMERICAN TEENAGER

PART 3- The night Natalee Holloway disappears Joran Van Der Sloot portrays behavior common to sexual predators who drug their victims.

Joran Van Der SLoot told a bold faced lie about Natalee prior to the night she disappeared and it is documented that he had a pre-meditated plan to go to Carlos & Charlie’s that night, and he had used a false identity with the Mountain Brook students to further his web of deception.

It is well-documented that Joran van Der Sloot showed up at the bar 30 minutes before closing time. Is it typical of Predators to keep their exposure among others to a minimum prior to containing their target?

Joran and Kalpoe brothers coordinated their leaving Carlos & Charlie’s with Natalee by using their cell phones, as the Kalpoe brothers statements reveal. Why would they need to communicate by telephone just to all get in the car (which they knew was parked behind the building so no need to find the car) to leave Carlos & Charlie’s? Why didn't the three of them just meet in the bar, coordinate their exit with Natalee, and all four walk out together? This gives indication of a plan in which the predators single out a female and make the American tourist think she is going back to the same hotel as the other tourist, in this case Joran van der Sloot, sharing a taxi cab ride.

Even Deepak’s statement said it was not the first time he had taken tourists back to the Holiday Inn.

Joran van Der Sloot knew this would be Natalee's last night on the island. It is fairly common for sexual predators to administer date rape drugs to female victims on their last night of vacation because they will be confused the next morning and have to rush to catch their planes back home. Dave Holloway was told immediately to go down to Carlos n’ Charlie’s, have a beer and wait for his daughter to show back up, but to keep his drink covered, as the locals tend to drug drinks in that bar – which indicates even the cops in Aruba know of this taking place with the tourists on their island by locals.

Every indication demonstrates this was a pattern Joran had used many times before. In one of his interviews Joran van Der Sloot told Greta Van Susteren he had done this with female tourists 20 times before.

Done what?

Drugged and raped young American tourists without consequences?

Joran van der Sloot said he and the Kalpoes rarely if ever went out two nights in a row. Satish Kalpoe indicated that Joran and Deepak were together three nights in a row: the night before Natalee went missing, the night Natalee went missing, and the night after she went missing.

Predator behavior is to plan, execute the plan, and when something bad happened this time – they covered-up what went terribly wrong to Natalee Holloway.

Joran Van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers show up at Carlos & Charlies 30-45 minutes before closing time

On the record with Greta Van Susteren, Fox news

VAN SUSTEREN: When they picked you up, did you go straight from your home to Carlos and Charlie's?
VAN DER SLOOT: When they picked me up, we went straight there, straight to Carlos and Charlie's.
VAN SUSTEREN: When you arrived at Carlos 'n Charlie's, any idea about what time it is?
VAN DER SLOOT: It was probably, you know, 12:15, I think, 12:30 maybe.
VAN SUSTEREN: How late does it stay open?
VAN DER SLOOT: That night it was open until 1:00 AM. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,186581,00.html

Deepak Kalpoe June 9, 2005, police statemen

A little before 0.00 hours I drove to Joran's house. Joran lives on the address Montanja 19. He lives in his own apartment. We, Satish and me, entered Joran's because he wasn't ready yet. He was still printing a project/something for school. We were inside Joran's place for about fifteen minutes. After that we drove to "Carlos & Charlies". I had parked my car in the parking lot behind "Carlos & Charlies" with the front side of my car parked towards the wall of "Carlos & Charlies". We got out and walked towards "Carlos & Charlies". At that time it was approximately 00:30 (12:30am) hours.

Joran and the Kalpoe brothers do not associate while in Carlos & Charlies, allowing the three to distance themselves from each other in order to play out their exit strategy with a “taxi”

ABRAMS: And let's be clear. You're talking about the chief suspect, Joran van der Sloot, and you've been looking for any sort of as you say, predatory past. So what happened? Someone just came up to you?
TWITTY: Well yes, I had a beautiful 18-year-old blond-headed girl from New Jersey and you know was able to recant an encounter that she had with Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe during the month of April '05.
TWITTY: You know it's interesting how he is able to try to work his way in and connect and establish himself in that—in Carlos N' Charlie's, was walking her around and these other tourists and was able to point out Satish and Deepak Kalpoe. They were sitting ironically in the same corner, the same stools that they were seated at in the picture that's been all over international media, so that must be their spot that they wait while Joran is working. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8838598

Meanwhile, the Kalpoes were coordinating their plan to pose as taxi drivers for Joran and Natalee on their cell phones

Satish June 11, 2005 police statement

I saw that my brother had called me. I know that my brother didn't have any more credit on his mobile phone and had called him back. My brother answered his phone and asked where we were. I told him that we were still inside Carlos & Charlies. He had told me that he was already at his car. I told him that we would come to where he was. I said to Joran that my brother was already at the car and if we were leaving, because Carlos & Charlies was about to close. Joran said that it was OK that we would be leaving and that the girl would be coming with us.

Deepak June 11, 2005 police statement

I walked to the parking lot where my car was parked. When I arrived at my car I sat on the ground next to my car, because my brother had the keys. I then called my brother on his mobile phone. I had almost no more minutes on my pre-paid phone so I called him in a way that produces what in English is called a “miss call”. After that my brother phoned me back, I asked him where they were and he said they were still inside and that he would come. After a while Satish came walking, I asked him where Joran was and he said that Joran was still inside.

Joran van der Sloot says he'd done this 20 times before and nothing ever went wrong

On the Record, Greta Van Susteren- March 3rd, 2006

VAN DER SLOOT: And you're like, you know, what, you know what are you doing? Because it was — it was a normal — it was a normal thing for us to do, you know, go to our friends, go to the beach, talk to American tourists, you know, then go out with them and have a good time and, you know, nothing — nothing ever bad has ever happened. I mean it's happened probably 20, 20 times nothing has ever gone wrong. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,186707,00.html

Joran says it was highly unusual that he and the Kalpoes would ever go out two nights in a row. However, Satish Kalpoe's statement indicates Joran and Deepak were together three nights in a row

VAN DER SLOOT: Two nights in a row? Never, really, because he works a lot and — yes.
VAN SUSTEREN: When you met up with him on the night of the 29th, the night going into Natalee's disappearance, when was the most recent time before that that you'd spent time with him?
VAN DER SLOOT: The most recent time before that?
VAN SUSTEREN: Yes.
VAN DER SLOOT: I don't remember exactly when it was.
VAN SUSTEREN: More than a week or two weeks? Any idea?
VAN DER SLOOT: No, it was probably a week.

Satish 2nd police statement on June 10, 2005

Where had the three of you gone on the night from Saturday night to Sunday night on May 28th 2005? We had gone to Carlos & Charlies. Was it just the three of you who had gone to Carlos & Charlies on Saturday May 28th 2005? Yes, it was just the three of us that went to Carlos & Charlies.

PART 2 ~ Joran Van Der Sloot creates a false identity, and lies about when he met Natalee

In Part 1 we established the fact that Joran Van Der Sloot lied about his actions leading up to going to Carlos & Charlies the night Natalee Holloway disappeared. In an interview with Greta Van Susteren, Joran lied about having no intentions of going to the bar that night, but had actually called a friend earlier in the afternoon telling him the American girls were going to be there and asking him to join him.

In Part 2 we expose more lies. Joran told many media sources he had not met Natalee until that night, when in fact he had been hanging around the teen’s hotel during the week according to statements by Natalee's friends, and Aruban officials.

In these days he had lied to the Mountain Brook teens, telling them he was a tourist on Aruba, was 19 years old, and plays soccer in Holland.

Why would Joran Van der Sloot make up a false identity? Why would Joran lie about himself and stalk Natalee for days prior to the night she disappeared?

JORDAN: No, but he was in our casino a lot.
O'REILLY: Now, did you know Van Der Sloot? Did -- how did you know who he was?
KISSEL: I didn't know him, but I had seen -- he had been around the hotel and the casino with her and with her friends, her closer friends, just hanging out around the hotel for the last few days, two or three days.

FBI 302 of Lee Ashford Broughton

While at the casino, Broughton and Holloway came across Joran Last Name Unknown (LNU). Holloway had met Joran LNU earlier in the day on the beach.

Bryan Reynolds, Mountain Brook student

Reynolds said he saw the suspects hanging out at the Holiday Inn where the Mountain Brook High School graduates stayed in Oranjestad. When Holloway went missing, Reynolds said they were the first people he considered as potential suspects. "That was the first people who came to mind," said Reynolds, who said Holloway is one of his best friends http://www.postherald.com/me061005.shtml

On the Record- with Greta Van Susteren

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: But you weren't here, so how would you be in a position to even know who this young man was?
BETH TWITTY: Through some of her classmates. And this young man had spent time with these children. He had been with them for a couple of days. They knew this young man. They knew his first name. They had spent hours with him. So it wasn't a secret. It wasn't a secret who she left with.

Tyra Banks Show- May 3, 2006

BETH TWITTY – Well the night that Natalee disappeared really was no different than any other night that the students had been on that island. It just happened to be that it was their last night and they had been around Joran Van Der Sloot now for a period of about two days and have spent many hours with him at the casino and just around the Holiday Inn and it was their last night I think there was some unique circumstances that were going on that night the established closed earlier than what it normally does. http://arubanboycott.blogspot.com/2006/05/recap-of-tyra-banks-show-with-beth-and.html#links

WE ARE INCLINED TO BELIEVE..................THIS WAS PREMEDITATED

2007-11-27T05:42:00.000-08:00

In light of the positive move of re-detaining 3 of the main suspects, we want to re-visit the premeditated portion of these crimes.

This next series will document exactly how Natalee Holloway was targeted and stalked by her perpetrators.

Is the Aruban prosecutor's office certain Natalee's death was not also premeditated?

Perhaps we will know those answers soon - and Natalee and her family will get the justice they deserve.

VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS - PREMEDITATED STALKING OF AN AMERICAN

In media interviews Joran van der Sloot maintains he never noticed Natalee Holloway until the night of her disappearance, yet witness statements by Mountain Brook students testify that he had been hanging around the group at the hotel during the week. Joran van Der Sloot would have no reason to lie about this, unless he had been stalking the teenager for a very specific purpose.

Joran van der Sloot also maintains he had no intention of going to Carlos & Charlies that night, yet his telephone conversations to friends earlier that day indicate otherwise. Was Joran Van der Sloot planning to attend Carlos & Charlies' all along? Was the underlying plan to pick up a pretty girl from the MB group who would be leaving for the States the next morning, the one he had been stalking for several days prior?

VAN DER SLOOT: And I remember afterwards going into — right behind that casino is a little bar, and I remember watching — walking in there. And there was a baseball game on TV, and again, the group of girls was sitting there. And they said, Oh, yes, don't forget to come out tonight. And I told them that on Sunday, it wasn't a good night to go out. It wasn't fun. It wasn't — and — but they said, You know, if you want to come, come. And I ended up deciding that, yes, I might as well go and have fun.

Joran had asked me whether I wanted to go out with him that night.

He told me that a few American girls would go to "Carlos & Charlies" and whether I wanted to meet up with him there.

DUTCH JUDICIAL SYSTEM

2007-11-13T08:02:00.000-08:00

De-railed the Natalee Holloway Case

The Judicial Courts in Holland allowed conflicts of interest to run rampant through the Aruban courts in favor of Paulus and Joran van der Sloot.

Much has been said about the incompetence and corruption by the Aruban Prosecutor and Police Department in failing to bring justice in the Natalee Holloway case, but the Dutch Judicial system bears equal responsibility. The Dutch judges rulings in favor of the van der Sloot family reek of a good ole boy system that is hell bent on protecting their own nationality over foreigners who innocently get trapped in their criminal justice system.

A SERIOUS CONFLICT OF INTEREST

The courts in all of the Netherland Antilles are managed and executed from Holland, where judges are sent to the islands to preside over the judicial proceedings of Aruba, Curacao, and Bonaire. Paulus van der Sloot, father of the prime suspect in Natalee Holloway’s disappearance, was a judge-in-training in this very judicial system, working alongside and making the acquaintance of the judges in the Dutch system. Indeed, it has been reported that some of these judges were very close friends outside the official duties of the courts.

EDITOR JOSSY MANSUR OF DIARIO NEWSPAPER
ON NANCY GRACE October 4, 2005

GRACE: … Jossy, regarding the connection, what I perceived to be a close connection between the judge, Paulus Van Der Sloot and the retired chief of police who initially handled Natalee`s case, Van Der Stratten, were they friends?
MANSUR: Of course, they were friends. It stands to reason they were friends because Paul Van Der Sloot had many friends within the police department; he had many friends within the Department of Justice. And he had many friends with -- and he was friendly with all the judges in Aruba. He worked out of the same office as they did and did the same work.

Such a close working relationship with the Dutch judges during his training created an obvious conflict of interest when his son, and he himself, became implicated in the disappearance and very possible murder of Natalee Holloway. The Dutch Judicial system in Holland should have recognized such an obvious hazard to justice but chose to do nothing, allowing friends and acquaintances of van der Sloot to preside over the court hearings of both Paulus and his son.

The outcome of the judges’ rulings in the Natalee Holloway case have cast a dark shadow over the Dutch judicial system. It should be noted that Paulus van der Sloot was also arrested in the case for conspiracy to commit murder, and these same judges ruled on his case as well. The end result, as one might expect, is that both van der Sloots were freed from prosecution. It is apparent from all the rulings in the case that the Dutch cannot police their own, justice be damned.

CHOOSING THE CURACAO JUDGES WAS A PUBLIC RELATIONS CHARADE

Two weeks into the the court process in this case, the Arubans announce that they were going to use Dutch judges from Curacao to make all of the court rulings so as to avoid a conflict of interest. The judges would be flown into Aruba to court hearings concerning Paulus van der Sloot, Joran an der sloot, Deepak Kalpoe, Satish Kalpoe and any others the prosecutor and police arrested.

We now know this was nothing but a charade. Bringing in the Dutch judges from Curacao was no different than using Aruban judges. There aren't that many judges on the islands, and they all work closely together within the same judicial circlies. Paulus van der Sloot trained under the Curacao judges just as he did those in Aruba and it has been reported that at least one of them stayed at his home while visiting the island.

The islands are closely located geographically and all work under the same Dutch court system. Why the judicial authorities in Holland didn't recognize this and demand a team of un-attached judges rule on such a high profile case is highly questionable.

JUDGE ROBERT WIT OBSTRUCTS THE GATHERING OF EVIDENCE

Joran van der Sloot was arrested on June 9, 2005 and a search warrant was issued for a complete search of the Van der Sloot residence and property five days later on June 14th. When the prosecution and police teams arrived to search the home they were met at the door by Dutch judge Robert Wit who summarily change the search warrant on the spot to exclude the Van der Sloot main residence and grounds, limiting the search only to Joran’s small apartment in the back of the house.

Judge Wit blocked the search of the van der Sloot residence even though he knew through Joran's police statements that he said he was in the main house in the early morning hours when he returned home after supposedly dropping Ms. Holloway off. In other words, Judge Wit ignored testimony by a key suspect to obstruct the collection of evidence from the suspect's residence.

Joran was arrested twice and his father was arrested once in the first month of the investigation. The main residence of the Van der Sloot home was never searched after either of these arrests.

Beth Twitty
withMartha MacCallum FOX NEWS LIVE DESK- Nov. 28/06

BETH: Well I think they will always have to look at there were two personnel involved from the Aruban Justice Department and that is why we don’t have any evidence and that’s what Joran’s attorney will have to be reminded of. It’s because of Bob Witt and Ben King stopped the search warrants. It was made to initially search the entire area of Montanja 19 the garden, the buildings and everything but on the spot high ranking employee of the Justice Office Bob Witt reduced the search warrant to only the room of Joran so that’s why we don’t have any evidence because of involvement of the obstruction from the Aruban Justice Department personnel.

Judge Wit did this knowing that Joran had given statements that he was in the main house the night and morning Natalee Holloway went missing, and there may have been evidence to be obtained within. Judge Wit was assisted by Ben Vocking, a high ranking official in the Aruba Prosecutor’s office who had taken a leave of absence to take care of his friend Paulus van der Sloot during his “time of need.”

PETER DEVRIES
WITH GRETA VAN SUSTEREN (FOX NEWS) November 27, 2006

VAN SUSTEREN: What about the search of the van der Sloot property? Was that ever done, and was, you know--including, sort of, the cabana area where Joran lives?
DE VRIES: Well, the search in the home address of the family Van der Sloot was very strange because the search warrant was made by head prosecutor Karin Janssen, and contained an allowance to search the whole address, “Montanja nineteen.” So, the gardens, the buildings--everything. But, when the police was on the spot, another high-ranking employee of the Justice office--it was Mr. Bob Witt--reduced the search warrant to only the room of Joran--and that was very strange.

PETER DEVRIES
THE ROBERT JENSEN SHOW (HOLLAND) November 28, 2006

DEVRIES: Yes the police missed several changes to do things right: when they wanted to search the house the door was opened by Mr. Ben King, an assistant of the Procurements Gen. office, the highest justice-office on the island, and a friend of the family who wanted to support the VdSloots in these difficult times… So clearly the search of the house hadn’t been a surprise to the VdSloots. And the police had a warrant for the complete estate but a judge - Bob Wit - who was at the house as well said only Joran's room could be searched.

These are things a Dutch crime-reporter is of course totaly astonished about. Justice Department official Ben King, who later admitted to the media that he was a close friend of Paulus Van der Sloot, claimed he was on vacation and therefore not acting on behalf of the Justice department. It was King who personally informed the search team they could only search the small apartment of Joran Van Der Sloot, located in the back yard of the property just behind the main residence, when they arrived.

Also present at the Van Der Sloot residence was Dutch Judge Bob Witt from Curacao, who was one judge presiding over the case. It should be noted that Paulus Van der Sloot was a Dutch judge-in-training at the time of Natalee Holloway’s disappearance.

By limiting the search of the van der Sloot residence and property, Judge Wit obstructed justice by inhibiting the collecting of evidence and should be removed from the bench, and charged with this crime, before he causes even more damage within the Dutch judicial system.

We will also note here that two innocent black security guards were arrested for the crime four days before Joran was detained. The judge did not limit the search when they were paraded before the media while the Prosecutor and Police ransacked their full residences. The two guards were later released but not before the Dutch judge had made sure their lives were made miserable.

How ironic that the Dutch judges had no consideration for two black security guards who were arrested for a crime they had nothing to do with, and yet had time to block the search of a fellow white Dutch compatriot whose son, Joran van der Sloot, is still to this day the main suspect in the disappearance and murder of Natalee Holloway.

COLLUSION BETWEEN A DUTCH JUDGE AND THE ARUBA GOVERNMENT

Under Dutch law it is optional for a judge to attend the search of a suspect's house. We found no evidence one had been present at the security guards' homes when they were raided. Yet, we find Judge Bob Wit not only attending the search of the van der sloot home but already in the house when the search team arrives, destroying any element of surprise the authorities may have gained.

At the van der Sloot residence with Judge Wit was a high ranking official of the Aruba Prosecutor's office, Ben Vocking, who served as the Head of the Department of Prosecutor Support. The Prosecutor, Karin Jannsen at the time, is the very person who called for a search warrant so it is safe to assume both Judge Bob Wit and Ben Vocking had inside information into the search and many other aspects of the case. Vocking had taken a leave of absence the day after Natalee Holloway disappeared to be with his friend Paulus van der Sloot in his time of need. Clearly this is yet another conflict of interest between the government and the suspect in the case, Joran van der Sloot.

But the fact that Judge Bob Wit was at the home with government official Ben Vocking when the search party arrived raises even deeper questions about collusion between the judiciary and goverment. Certainly a judge does not go to a home and greet the suspects and inform them of an impending search before the authorities arrive. This would go against the grain of any effective investigation and curry favor to the suspect. Should the judge have not been with the Prosecutor and Police when they arrived at the house?

Why was Judge Bob Wit already in the house? All of this suggests collusion between a Dutch judge and a high ranking official from the Aruba Prosecutor's office to obstruct justice in the Natalee Holloway case.

JUDGE RICK SMID SHIELDS MAIN SUSPECT FROM PROSECUTION

In a hearing on June 1, 2005 Dutch judge Rick Smid ruled there was sufficient evidence to keep Joran van der Sloot in detention for an additional 30 days. Then in a baffling move, he flies back to Curacao and faxes in a reversal of the ruling he’d made only a few hours earlier, freeing van der Sloot from jail. Within three days Joran van der Sloot was on an airplane for Holland, and to make sure van der Sloot would never face prosecution, the judges gave Joran and the Kalpoe brothers immunity from ever being questioned again about this case.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
September 1, 2005

The judge in the case issued two rulings: In the first, he agreed with prosecutors' request to extend the period of van der Sloot's pretrial detention by 30 more days. But later Thursday, the judge issued another ruling that sided with the defense — an order to immediately suspend the execution of his earlier pretrial detention order.

BETH TWITTY
NANCY GRACE September 13, 2005

GRACE: What was the grounds? Why did they release them?
TWITTY: You know, Nancy, there was absolutely no -- no grounds for them to be released. And I spoke with the Dutch interrogators. And even as of September the 1st, things were really progressing well, and Joran and Deepak and Satish, they had -- these young men had divided, and they were not denying a crime anymore. They were merely implicating each other. And the list of inconsistencies was presented before Judge Smit. The reasonable doubt was there. I don`t have any idea why he fled the island and then faxed a reversal decision. It just is incredible.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0509/13/ng.01.html

Judge Rick Smid was well aware at the time of his ruling that in their police statements Joran and the Kalpoe brothers differed on key events that supposedly occurred that night. Joran had told five different stories about how he got home that night, none of them agreeing with the Kalpoes’ account. Joran had also said in one of his statements that Deepak murdered Natalee and buried her on the beach near the Fishermen’s Huts, a statment that Deepak vehemently denied. One of the suspects even admitted to police interrogators that "Something bad happened to Natalee." the night she disappeared.

JOSSY MANSUR, EDITOR DIARIO ARUBA
Monday, November 21, 2005

They themselves admitted to police during interrogations that something bad happened to Natalee while she was with them, without specifying what ‘something bad’ was! That they admitted to committing sexual abuse against her. ??It is not extensive that the judge who presided over the case and decided that some things were inadmissible. He could be the best judge in the world, but in this case, he made light of and greatly neglected to pay attention to the three suspects’ admissions, since he didn’t even interrogate them about what was left hanging in the air, such as the declaration of Joran at the beach that he believes that Deepak raped and killed Natalee! How did this matter end there? How were the other accusations and counter-accusations among the three suspects not evaluated for their just content?

In essence, there were many differences in the three suspects’ stories which would indicate one or more of them were guilty of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, but Judge Smid chose to ignore these discrepancies. He also used an obscure ruling from the Ponson case that stated Joran’s eduction was of utmost importance—moreso than the murder investigation—which allowed Joran to flee the island and opened the door for the judges from Curacao to land the final blow on the case by lifting all restrictions against the main suspects.

In another move on behalf of Paulus van der Sloot and his son Joran, at the end of July, 2005 Judge Rick Smid ordered the DNA taken from the three main suspects destroyed. Joran van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers remain the three main suspects to this day, with Joran being considered the prime suspect.

Judge Rick Smid is a pox on the Dutch judicial system and should be removed from office. The damage he and Judge Bob Wit did to the Natalee Holloway case is unfathomable, and both of these judges should be punished for their actions.

Furthermore the top judicial officials in Holland should start an investigation as to why these judges who were friends and acquaintances of Paulus van der Sloot were allowed to rule on the court proceedings for both he and his son.

THE CURACAO JUDGES ACT IN UNISON TO FREE THE VAN DER SLOOTS

Three weeks after Judge Smid released Joran under the obscure Ponson rule (which originally applied to a baseball player's right to get an eductaion, a crime nowhere as serious as rape and murder) a panel of three judges released all restrictions on Joran van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers. They were all free to leave the island and never had to return for questioning by the police interrogators again. These judges also knew of the conflicting stories between Joran Van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers but totally ignored them in spite of the fact they suggest guilt.

JOSSY MANSUR, EDITOR DIARIO ARUBA
Monday, October 1, 2005

Did the judge who came from Curacao probably plan take the decisions he took, spoiled the case? With all due respect for the position you have taken, have you seen what happened???The case was resolved in phases the same judge planned: first release Paul v.d. Sloot , then he came back to release the Kalpoe brothers and the third phase he executed now when came to set Joran free because Joran expressed his wish to continue his studies. ??I have similarly not made any accusations of any sort against the Kalpoe brothers; what I have repeated is what can be found in the Polis reports where they started pointing the fingers one against the other! It is in these three phases here that Americans see the corruption of our justice system.

With the ruling in Curacao, the Dutch judges had now accomplished their mission of denying justice to Natalee Holloway and her family. These biased rulings have de-railed the case the Holloway case and smack of corruption among all the Dutch juges in the Netherland Antilles.

THE DUTCH JUDICIARY SHOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN THE NATALEE HOLLOWAY CASE AND SENT A TEAM OF UNBIASED JUDGES TO THE NETHERLAND ANTILLES TO OVERSEE THE CASE. INSTEAD, THEY LET CORRUPTION RUN RAMPANT WHICH HAS RESULTED IN THE CRIMES AGAINST MISS HOLLOWAY TO GO UNPUNISHED.

DUTCH AUTHORITIES IN HOLLAND SHOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED THE SERIOUS CONFLICTS OF INTEREST THAT WERE TAKING PLACE IN THEIR LEGAL SYSTEM AND STEPPED UP TO PUT AN END TO THEM INSTEAD OF TURNING A BLIND EYE TO THE OBVIOUS CORRUPTION THAT WAS TAKING PLACE.

*Why did Dutch officials in Holland not recognize such an obvious conflict of interest in their renegade judges’ ruling for one of their co-workers and friends?

*Why didn’t Dutch judicial officials in Holland immediately send in a team of unbiased judges who had no working or recreational relationship with Paulus van der Sloot?

*Why did the Dutch judiciary sit back and allow a limited search of the van der Sloot residence when they knew from his statements that Joran was in the main house that night?

*Why would a Dutch judge team up with a member of the Prosecutor's office to prevent a search if he did not have inside information into the case against one of his co-workers?

*Why did the Prosecutor's office allow Ben Vocking, a high ranking member of their own staff with inside information into the case, to take work leave in order to assist the suspects in the case?

*If Paulus and Joran van der Sloot were innocent of any crime as they claim, why would a Dutch judge and a high ranking member of the Prosecutor's office be needed to intervene in a search of their residence?

*Why did Judge Rick Smid release all three of the main suspects from further questioning when he knew very well their stories didn’t match up?

*When will the Dutch right the obvious wrongs that have taken place in the Natalee Holloway case and curb the damage they have done to their judiciary system in the world of public opinion?

Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!

Dennis Jacobs

2007-11-09T09:02:00.000-08:00

Lead Investigator? Or Key Obstructionist?

In the case of missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, the thought shared by her family and many others researching this case is that there was a collusion of the authorities on the island of Aruba to cover up this crime.

This thought was recently affirmed with the publishing of Beth Holloway’s book, in which she quoted the President of the Aruban Hotel and Tourism Association responding to a statement about a cover up having taken place: Jorge Pesquera says to Beth stating there was a cover-up.

"Yes...yes there was." (p. 194 Beth Holloway book Loving Natalee).

Over the past two and a half years, many have wondered how such a cover up could be so successful, and who were the key players in such collusion?

Dave Holloway tells us in his book about the manipulations that were done to his police statement regarding his hour-long meeting with Paulus van der Sloot.

I commented to Jacobs about how short my statement was. He said that I could add anything I wanted to it. Also, I noticed that Eric Soemers's name was on it, but that detective was not even present during the interview. Now I wondered if Jacobs was making up everyone's statement and getting Eric to sign on to them. If that were the case, he could state anything he wanted, and it would look like an official statement made in front of a witness.
Dave Holloway Aruba page 183

Beth Holloway tells us about her first statement given to Dennis Jacobs about her missing daughter, and the things she saw and heard the night she arrived on the island and met with the van der Sloots. She shares with us how Dennis Jacobs changed her statement to remove anything that could be harmful to the van der Sloots.

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Correct. I was not needed on the 31st to give my statement. I went in June 1 approximately 10:00 AM and gave my statement. It was printed in Dutch. It was translated for me in English, and I signed it. The same day on June 1 at 10:00 PM, the same detective brought me two statements, one that I had signed...

GRACE: At 10:00 PM, an investigator finds you where?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: In a restaurant.

GRACE: They come up to you in a restaurant and say?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: I need you to sign this new statement. There was a change that had to have been made. Jug spoke with them. You know, Nancy, I was not able to make any type of decisions on what I was signing. I mean, something was presented before me. I`m looking for my daughter in a foreign country. What was I going to do?

GRACE: Was it in Dutch?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: I had to go on good faith. Oh, yes. Absolutely.

GRACE: So after signing your statement once that afternoon, they seek you out at a restaurant...

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Yes.

GRACE: ... and ask you to re-sign a statement written totally in Dutch?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Yes.

GRACE: And Jug quizzed them, saying?

GRACE: What are the changes? The changes were only supposed to have been a date.

GRACE: And?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: We found out about three weeks later that that statement that I signed on June 10 is not my statement. We were given that statement by an Aruban attorney sometime during the month of July and finally had it translated, and it is not my original statement.

GRACE: What was left out, Beth?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: There were a lot of names that were left out, you know, just key elements as far as how Joran asked Jug and -- to leave the group before he admitted the sexual assaults that he committed against Natalee and -- and just a lot of things. You know, Paulus`s name -- I didn`t know anyone`s name. I didn`t know Charles Croes`s name, which is just ludicrous.

The steps Dennis Jacobs took to whittle down the content of Dave’s meeting with Paulus, and his addition of the not present Detective Soemer’s name to Dave’s statement, and the unbelievably bold steps he took to completely change Beth’s statement made us wonder.

What other statements did Dennis Jacobs manipulate?

What key elements could have been given by these various witnesses and suspects, that Dennis Jacobs may have tampered with?

ARUBAN AUTHORITIES IMPLICATE MAIN SUSPECTS IN NATALEE HOLLOWAY CASE

2007-10-25T13:14:00.000-07:00

As we await the outcome of the discovery process in the Kalpoe v. McGraw DEFAMATION lawsuit, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on an abbreviated version of a previous Freebird's publication which clearly demonstrates the original sources of the alleged defamation. HINT: Not Dr. Phil....

A. GEROLD DOMPIG - CHIEF OF POLICE

Gerold Dompig - 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - 11-08-05
DOMPIG: I still believe that these boys have been lying, they're still lying, and everybody knows that by now. So there's no doubt in my mind that they know something, they're guilty of something.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12187266/

Gerold Dompig - 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - 11-02-05
COSBY: Do you believe, Chief—you said to me even before this interview that you believe the boys are guilty as hell. Do you believe they‘re involved in her disappearance?
DOMPIG: Yes.
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9910586/from/RL.3/

Gerold Dompig - 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - 10-17-05
DOMPIG: .... Joran went back and forth with his statements, and he withdrew two statements which he had already given to us. So basically, none of his statements were really trustworthy. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9727957/

Gerold Dompig - THE ABRAMS REPORT - 10-12-05
DOMPIG: Well, it would take me, I think, a little over two days to go over all the inconsistencies. None of the stories match up, let me put it that way. So when it comes to believing this individual, we know in which category to place him.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9676188

Gerold Dompig - THE ABRAMS REPORT - 10-12-05
DOMPIG: Exactly. And I go by the rule of thumb that, in the first 40 days -- as I said in a different program -- the first 40 days, law enforcement has probably also already spoken to the perpetrators. So we feel strongly that we have already spoken to them. And there's no one else outside this group that could be involved or responsible. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9676188/page/2/

Gerold Dompig - THE ABRAMS REPORT - 10-12-05
DOMPIG: So sometimes people will ask us that, "Are you not tunnel-visioned? Maybe you should look at other possibilities." Of course. We did that. But we still feel that, every time you go on a path, a different path, that path leads back, comes back to these three boys. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9676188/page/2/

Gerold Dompig - Associated Press - 06-12-05
Deputy Police Commissioner, Gerold Dompig, told The Associated Press that one of three young men arrested in the case admitted "something bad Happened" to Holloway and was leading police to the scene. Prosecutors refused to comment on Dompig's statement, and Dompig himself refused to identify which of the three young men who took Holloway to the Northern beach the night she went missing made the statement. http://archive.seacoastonline.com/2005news/06122005/world/47255.htm

Gerold Dompig - 48 HOURS - 03-22-06
Dompig laid out the latest scenario of what happened after Natalee was last seen driving off with van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers shortly after 1 a.m. He says investigators think the group did not go to the beach but that they possibly brought Natalie back to the van der Sloots' home. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/22/48hours/main1430644_page5.shtml

Gerold Dompig - VANITY FAIR ARTICLE - 01-02-06
"The F.B.I. profiled him as a person who never has been corrected by his parents. He's the boss of what happens in that house. He's the boss in the family. He is allowed to do anything.… If a person like that is in a position where a person says, 'No,' well, that person may change completely. Maybe he blew a fuse when she wouldn't have sex with him, and something happened."
http://www.vanityfair.com/fame/features/2006/01/natalee200601?currentPage=9

Gerold Dompig - 48 HOURS - 03-22-06
Dompig says he believes Paulus Van der Sloot does know more than he has been telling about the circumstances surrounding Holloway's disappearance. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/22/48hours/main1430644_page3.shtml

Gerold Dompig - 48 HOURS - 03-22-06
The Aruban authorities’ new theory is that someone, someone possibly very close to the young suspects, took the time to carefully hide the body, not once but maybe twice, literally re-burying her.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/22/48hours/main1430644_page4.shtml

Gerold Dompig - 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - 10-17-05
DOMPIG: They only went so far as to say that they fondled sexually. At least, Joran did that, and the others denied everything.
COSBY: Chief, you know, that Joran was claiming in some statement that she was gong in and out of consciousness. Have you seen that anywhere?
DOMPIG: Yes, that's definitely in the statements, and that‘s why we were kind of disappointed when the judge didn‘t accept that because that‘s basically a felony in Aruba. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9727957/

B. STEVE COHEN - SPOKESPERSON FOR THE INVESTIGATION

Steve Cohen - The Strategic Communications Task Force - 12-7-05
Aruba Selects Spokesman For North America A coalition of groups announced Friday the appointment of Steve Cohen to act as spokesperson to North American media, in regards to the Natalee Holloway disappearance case. AHATA and the ATA appointed Cohen to deal with all media relations concerning the case which still commands media coverage in the United States. Mr. Cohen has been part of the Strategic Communications Task Force since its creation in June. He has a full knowledge of the case and is an associate of the Strategic Message Design. http://www.arubatruth.com/?p=17

Steve Cohen - Caribbean Voice - 01-18-06
Aruba stays afloat through Natalie Holloway's investigation By Hazel Heyer SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico ... Aruba believes it is most important to get a hold of her mental state and most importantly, Natalee's physical state at the time of disappearance. "Two of the boys said they had consensual sex with her. Whether consensual or not, depends on her ability to be conscious and make a choice," said Cohen.
http://www.caribvoice.org/travel&tourism.html

Steve Cohen - Dr. Phil Show - 01-29-06
Steve explains, "Forensic materials continue to be collected. I think we've got our hands on some forensic material now that may actually open up the doors to the final results of this case." Dr. Phil asks him, "From your opinion, based on what you know, do you believe that these boys are guilty of wrongdoing here?" Steve says that he does. "Do the prosecutors believe they are guilty of wrongdoing?" Steve says that they do. "Do you believe that [the boys] have available, intimate knowledge of what happened to her that night?" Again, Steve confirms that he does. http://www.drphil.com/slideshows/slideshow/3041/?id=?id=&slide=7&null=null

Steve Cohen - 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - 12-21-05
COHEN: I do want to make the distinction for you and your audience between questioning and rearrest. This is a questioning procedure that Chief Dompig is going to go through with them because as they‘ve analyzed the timeline, they‘ve found some other discrepancies and they want to review these discrepancies with the three suspects.
COSBY: Hey, Steve, what are those discrepancies exactly?
COHEN: Well, I think it‘s mostly timeline discrepancies, Rita. As you look at their testimony and their interrogations of where they were at different times between 1:30-something in the morning and between 3:30 in the morning, these are very important two or three-hour blocks that the investigators want to review in detail.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10572846/

Steve Cohen - Dr. Phil Show - 01-29-06
"I was the guy who had to let them out," says Steve. "I opened the jail door for all three of them. It was nobody else. It was me. And my feeling was that we had lost ..." http://www.drphil.com/slideshows/slideshow/3041/?id=1&slide=8&null=null

C. KARIN JANSSEN - PROSECUTOR

Karin Janssen - Associated Press - 07-01-20
Janssen also alleged Paul van der Sloot, a 52-year-old judge in training in Aruba, obstructed authorities' investigation by asking one of his son's friends, who had been interrogated, what he told police. But Janssen said Paul van der Sloot was detained for being a suspect in the disappearance, not for obstructing the investigation.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,161294,00.html

Statement from Prosecutor's Office - CNN - 08-27-05
(CNN) -- After being detained and then released last month in Natalee Holloway's disappearance, two brothers were arrested again Friday in Aruba on suspicion they acted "together with other people" in raping and killing the Alabama teen, the prosecutor's office said. Without elaborating on the evidence, the office said in a statement that "new facts and circumstances" led them to re-arrest Satish Kalpoe, 18 and brother Deepak, 21. "They are suspected of the primary criminal act of together with other people committing premeditated murder, alternately together with other people murdering somebody, more alternately rob a person of her liberty with fatal consequences and even more alternately raping somebody," the statement said.
http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/08/26/aruba.arrests/index.html

Arlene Ellis-Schipper -On the Record w/Greta - August 30, 2006
ELLIS-SCHIPPER: Well, I think it's a big moment, Greta. You know, the prosecution and the investigation is moving very carefully. They don't want to make more mistakes, and they are very careful. So they must have had some real, real evidence and new facts that they felt confident enough to haul them back in. ... the investigation is moving forward and there's hope that we might go towards a trial because, at first, I was doubting whether we were even facing a trial. It shows that the police have done some good work and apparently gathered evidence, new evidence enough for to bring them back in custody.. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,167372,00.html

Karen Janssen - Associated Press - 07-02-05
Janssen said the prosecution was centering its case around e-mail and cell phone text messages written between the suspects the night Holloway disappeared. Janssen declined to offer further details about the messages, but said not having a body would make getting a murder conviction "more difficult but not impossible." http://www.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/news/050702/aruba.shtml

Noraina Pietersz - Associated Press - 06-09-05
Under Aruban law, only serious suspicion from investigators — not solid evidence — is needed for a judge to rule that suspects can be held, Pietersz said.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8079019/

Joran/Deepak/Satish/Steve/Croes/Paulus - FOX NEWS - 06/24/05
Joran van der Sloot (search) and his friends Deepak and Satish Kalpoe are being held under suspicion of murder and kidnapping as well as being an accessory to murder. A fourth man, party boat DJ Steve Croes, is being held under the same conditions. The fifth man, Paul van der Sloot (search) — the father of 17-year-old Joran — was being held on suspicion of complicity to pre-meditated murder, complicity to kidnapping and murder and kidnapping. Under the Aruban system, complicity is a lesser charge. None of the men have been charged with a crime, but all are in police custody. An Aruban government spokesman confirmed the allegations.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,160654,00.html

D. ROLAND TROMP - POLICE INTERROGATOR

Roland Tromp - Paulus' interrogator - stated to the Associated press that those within the investigation believe Joran is the prime suspect in regards to what happened to Natalee Holloway. They also contend that Paulus assisted his son after something went tragically wrong that fateful morning.

Roy Tromp - CBS NEWS - 08-05-05
Tromp said investigators believe van der Sloot, who turns 18 on Saturday, is the prime suspect and that he had some assistance from his father, Paul, an apprentice judge on the island. "We believe something went wrong with the girl, and the first person you are going to call is your daddy," said Tromp. "In this case, daddy would know exactly what to do." Tromp, who declined to provide details about exactly what investigators believe happened to Holloway, said that Paul van der Sloot has also changed his account the night Holloway vanished.

E. SUPERIOR COURT

Superior Court - Diario - 02-14-2007
The whole case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway gets a different twist now that the information has come out from no less than the Superior Court, and in which mention is made of the declarations of witnesses and a phone tap that show or give an indication that Paul van der Sloot had on two occasions personal contact with Natalee during the night that she disappeared. Mention is made that, according to one or more official reports of the phone tap and also the declaration of Paul van der Sloot himself, that Paul fetched Joran and Natalee at McDonald and took them to the Holiday Inn. Based on this information, the judicial authorities and the police had at that time a justified basis to arrest Paul van der Sloot based on different suspicions. (Translation Credit: Diario)

Diana Emerencia - Associated Press - 08/31/05
Zedan-Arambatzis, 21, is also suspected of photographing the girl in "tempting poses" and showing the images to other people, Emerencia said. The Kalpoe brothers and van der Sloot are also suspected of involvement in the incidents, which allegedly occurred before Holloway disappeared, she said. Emerencia said Zedan-Arambatzis has denied having any physical contact with the girl or taking photos of her, but has admitted to being present when the photos were taken.

G. STANLEY ZAANDAM - FORMER ARUBAN POLICE COMMISSIONER

Ex-commissioner Stanley Zaandam - Bon Dia Aruba - 9/19/2005
Zaandam keeps on saying in his book, two days after 5/29, the body of Natalee H. may have already been found and Cvp [police commissioner] looked the other way to do a favour for Paul vd Sloot (ex of chief staff of Cabinet PG [prosecutor general] J. Zwinkels). To exculpate the son of Paul, the CvP and fiscal chief prosecutor Karen Jansen made the false arrest of two ex-security guards, Jones and John , called this a ‘tactical maneuver’, and denied them their freedom for another 10 days.

The questions remain - can Deepak and Satish Kalpoe prove to any court that they were in no way culpable in Miss Holloway's disappearance?

Can the Kalpoes disprove the allegations coming from their own country's officials?

Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!

Crimes Committed Against Natalee Holloway ~ Part 6

A telephone conversation by now, has taken place between Joran, Deepak, and Paulus to discuss their concerns about the swift arrival of the Twittys to Aruba, with Paulus reminding Joran and Deepak to stick with their Holiday Inn story they had devised earlier in the day.

Paulus tells the boys to go back into the casinos, stay in front of the video surveillance cameras, and make certain they are seen there.

DEEPAK SAID HE LEFT HOME FOR THE RADISSON AT 11:25/11:35 PM

Between 23:25 hours and 23:35 hours, we arrived home. Satish got out of the car and I got behind the steering wheel. After that I drove through town to the Raddison Casino.
DEEPAK 6-13

JORAN SAYS THAT DEEPAK CALLED HIM WHILE HE WAS AT THE RADISSON AND SAID HE WOULD MEET THEM THERE JORAN SAID DEEPAK ARRIVED AT 1:00 AM

I went to play poker. I was busy playing poker when I was called by Andre. He asked me where I was. I had told him that I was at the Radison Hotel. He told me he would come by there. Deepak had also asked me where I was. I told him that I was at the Radison Casino. Deepak told me that he would be there as soon as possible. At approximately 01.00 am Deepak came over to me. Andre was there too
JVDS 6-14

ANDRE SAID THAT 30 - 40 MINUTES AFTER JORAN AND GUIDO LEFT THE ARUBA GRAND( about 11:00) ANDRE IS ELIMINATED FROM THE TOURNAMENT (11:30/11:40) ANDRE THEN CALLS JORAN/GUIDO AND LEAVES 30 MINUTES AFTER CALLING TO MEET THEM AT THE RADISSON (12:00/12:10)

I saw that Joran and Guido then went outside. When Joran and Guido left I was still in the Texas Hold'm poker Tournament. I estimate that it was approximately 30 or 40 minutes after Joran and Guido left the Casa Blanca casino that I was eliminated from the poker tournament June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos

After I was eliminated, I called Guido and/or Joran on their mobile telephone. Guido has the mobile telephone with the number '5xxxxxx'. I asked to Joran and/or Guido where they were they told me they were at the casino at the Radisson hotel and would wait for me there. I told them that I would be there later. Approximately 30 minutes after I had spoken with Joran and/or Guido I left the casino at the Wyndham hotel and walked to the casino at the Radisson hotel. I estimate that the complete route lasted (10) minutes.
June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos

ANDRE SAID DEEPAK ARRIVED SOMETIME AFTER HE DOES AT THE RADISSON

I found Joran and Guido in the casino of the Radisson hotel and they were in a Texas Hold'm poker 'Live-Game'. I remained watching them gamble for a very long time. At some time I saw that 'Deepak' walk into the casino and came up to us
June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos

DEEPAK SAID HE ARRIVED AT THE RADISSON AT ABOUT MIDNIGHT JORAN AND GUIDO WERE PLAYING POKER AND ANDRE WAS NOT
A TOURIST ACCUSED JORAN OF CHEATING

I then went to the “Radisson Hotel”. When I arrived there I met up with Joran, Guido and Andre. Joran was playing a poker tournament. I zat and watched. Joran was pretty inebriated that evening. We stayed there and played for about 2 hours after I arrived. I had arrived there at approximately 00;00 hours
DEEPAK 6-11

At about 00:00 hours, I had arrived at the Raddison Hotet. I parked my car in the parking lot and walked to the casino. When I got inside, I saw that Joran was in the poker room and that he was playing at a table. I saw that Guido was seated at another poker table also playing poker, I had seen another friend Andre who was also in the poker room. I do not know the surname of Andre. Andre was not playing poker. At some moment in time Andre had come over to where I was and had greeted me. Andre asked me to come inside. I did go inside. I did not play, but did look at the cards of Joran and Guido.

Were these actions put into play deliberately by Joran? Did he follow Paulus' instructions very well and create this scene for the purpose of further solidifying an unbreakable alibi for the night?

At some given moment in time a tourist who was sitting at Joran's table got angry. The tourist thought that we were looking at the cards of other players and signaling/deciding for Joran when he should play or not. It lead to a disagreement between Joran and the tourist. The manager of the Radisson Casino came over and everything calmed down . I drank about four "whisky coke" gedronken in the Radisson Casino. I now that Joran drank more because the waiters were constantly bringing him drinks .I am not sure what he was drinking. His drinks were of a yellow colour. I think it was “whisky soda" or 'Whisky water".
DEEPAK 6-13

2:00 AM JORAN WAS FINISHED PLAYING POKER

After that, at approximately 23.15 pm Guido and I arrived at the Radison Casino. I went to play poker. I was busy playing poker when I was called by Andre. He asked me where I was. I had told him that I was at the Radison Hotel. He told me he would come by there. Deepak had also asked me where I was. I told him that I was at the Radison Casino. Deepak told me that he would be there as soon as possible. At approximately 01.00 am Deepak came over to me. Andre was there too. I was on a roll. I played for about another hour. At approximately 02.00 am I stopped playing.
JORAN 6-14

By this time Deepak and Joran were so anxious, they decided they needed to discuss the most recent events with Paulus. From the Radisson casino they drove to the van der Sloot home for a second meeting with Paulus that day.

2:00 AM GUIDO, JORAN, AND DEEPAK LEAVE CASINO FOR 1 HOUR

At some time, I no longer remember the exact time, Guido, Joran and Deepak left the casino and I stayed behind. Approximately (1) one hour later, Guido returned because he had silver-plate US $100 =, chip. I no longer remember if Guido continued to gamble but I am certain that Joran did.
June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos

This would have been right after the Universal Aviation employees had retrieved the license number from Deepak's car, while it was parked at the van der Sloot home.

ANDRE SAID THAT AFTER GUIDO, JORAN AND DEEPAK HAD LEFT FOR AN HOUR AND RETURNED TO THE RADISSON, JORAN GAMBLED SOME MORE AND THEN DEEPAK AND JORAN LEFT TO GO PLAY BLACKJACK AT A CASINO IN ORANJESTAD

At some time, I no longer remember the exact time, Guido, Joran and Deepak left the casino and I stayed behind. Approximately (1) one hour later, Guido returned because he had silver-plate US $100 =, chip. I no longer remember if Guido continued to gamble but I am certain that Joran did.
June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos

This is most likely when Joran received the phone call from Paulus informing him the Twittys and law enforcement were at their home. Joran then invents an excuse to leave Andre, and he and Deepak travel to the van der Sloot home.

After Joran was done at the poker table he had won approximately US $400 = and cashed in the chips immediately. I walked to the bathroom and afterwards Joran also came into the bathroom but we spoke of nothing in particular. Then Joran and Deepak left because they wanted to play black-jack at a casino in Oranjestad.
June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos

ANDRE SAID THAT AFTER JORAN AND DEEPAK LEFT, HE AND GUIDO LEFT THE RADISSON TO GO HOME

They did not tell me to which casino they would go. After Deepak and Joran were gone 'Guido WEAVER' and I went home (left).
June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos

At approximately 02.30 am, Deepak and myself were walking to his car. He was there in his Honda Civic. The car was parked in the parking lot of the Radisson Hotel. Guido left to take Andre home. We drove towards the Wyndham Casino
JVDS 6-14

This has simply been the best plausible sequence of events we have been able to generate, based on the suspects' words in police reports and media interviews, along with witness and investigator's statements.

Here is a brief recap of what the suspects own actions and words have led us to believe.

* 10:00 am - 4 suspects meet at Bubali police station, and meet at the van der Sloot pool thereafter

* 3:00 pm - Paulus makes a visit to the bank, and has 1 hour missing before arriving home

* 5:00 pm - Paulus takes Joran to the Racquet club wtih the gym bag containing evidence, and Joran meets with Koen to make arrangements for the boat - and they do not play tennis.

* 6:00 pm - Paulus makes his second trip to the Racquet Club to retrieve Joran and the gym bag, they then retrieve Miss Holloway's remains.

* 7:25 pm - Joran calls Deepak, triangulation of the cell phone records shows the location near the boat launch

* 8:15 - 8:30 pm - Paulus at home on the computer researching drugs, Joran at the Wyndham casino.

* 10:30 pm - The van der Sloots are aware the Twitty's are en route to Aruba on a privately chartered jet.

* 11:30 pm - Joran, Guido, and Deepak are in discussion in Deepak’s car in a casino parking lot.

* 2:00 am - Deepak, Joran and Guido leave the casino for one hour, Deepak's car is seen at 2:30 am at the van der sloot home .

As we close this series, we point out that others close to the investigation have also arrived at the exact same conclusion.

JOSSY MANSUR:

Joran had access to several boats, Mansur said, and could have used one of them to dispose of Natalee's body. "Whatever happened to her, happened at Joran's apartment or at the beach to the north of the Marriott hotel," Mansur said.
"The disposal of her body, we strongly believe, was masterminded by the father, who coached them by the pool at his home and drilled them in what they had to say and which story they had to cling to."
www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/forensics/natalee_holloway/11.html

DAVE HOLLOWAY:

I just can't understand that three kids, you know, if they were involved in foul play, could have disposed of Natalee in such a way that we couldn't find her. So that leads me to believe that possibly there's other people involved in the case. http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/17/ng.01.html

ART WOOD:

The dramatic new line of investigation revolves around the timeline of May 30, starting about 18 hours after Natalee vanished. There are several unexplained missing hours during which authorities believe that her body was dumped at sea.

Former U.S. Secret Service agent Art Wood, who spent months on the island investigating the case, told The National Enquirer: "Joran told police that he played tennis with a friend during the evening hours. And the pal backed up his alibi. "But when I investigated the Racquet Club I found that Joran had never played tennis there that night." http://www.nationalenquirer.com/crime/63342

ART WOOD:

"The reason this case could still be solved is because there are so many people involved in Natalee's disappearance and in the disposal of her body. When somebody talks, they're going to all go down. This is like a house of cards."

Crimes Committed Against Natalee Holloway ~ Part 5

Joran's only job the remainder of that night is keeping himself in the public eye, and that was brought to an abrupt halt by some unexpected news. The ensuing panic is evidenced in the actions of himself, Guido, and Deepak below.

The following actions by Joran, Deepak, and Guido indicate that 10:30 pm is when the van der Sloots were made aware of the Twitty's impending arrival on the island. This would be 1 hour before Charles Croes heard from his "major friend".

There is a person who could fit the bill of having notified the van der Sloots prior to the Twitty's arrival on Aruba, and that would be Mr Stamper, employee of Universal Aviation. The pilot of the plane the Twitty's were arriving on contacted some "handlers" working at the airport from the air, with a request for help, and giving them the information they knew at that point. That information included a description and the name "Joran".

Mr Stamper was one of those employees, and stuck with the Twitty's from their arrival time, up through the time a statement was taken from "The Holloway Group and Mr Stamper" by the authorities at the Noord police station at 2:50 am.

JORAN SAYS GUIDO WEVER ARRIVED AT 10:30 PM

I stayed and waited for Andre because he was also losing. In the meantime I had called Guido. Guido had told me that he was nearly finished. At approximately 22.30, Guido arrived at the Wyndham Casino.
JVDS 6-14

ANDRE SAYS GUIDO ARRIVED

I saw that Joran walking around in the casino. I saw then that 'Guido WEAVER' came into the Casa Blanca casino of the Wyndham hotel and walked up to Joran. I no longer remember what time Guido WEAVER arrives at the casino.
June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos

At this point, Joran is in a panic. He lets Guido in on what transpired with the missing Miss Holloway the prior night.

WHEN GUIDO ARRIVED AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30, JORAN AND GUIDO TAKE A CIRCULAR WALK AROUND THE CASINO

At approximately 22.30, Guido arrived at the Wyndham Casino. Guido and myself went for a circular walk.
JVDS 6-14

AT SOME POINT AFTER THE WALK, JORAN SAYS GUIDO DRIVES HIM BACK TO THE ARUBA GRAND TO CASH IN SOME CHIPS AND GAMBLE THERE FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES

At approximately 22.30, Guido arrived at the Wyndham Casino. Guido and myself went for a circular walk. After that Guido and myself walked to his car. His car was in the parking lot of the Wyndham Hotel. After that we drove to the Aruba Grant so that I could cash in my chips at the cashier. These were the chips that I had won earlier. Because it had turned eight o'clock earlier I had been unable to ca sh my chips then.Guido and myself played black jack in the Aruba Grand Casino for about 45 minutes
JVDS 6-14

We surmise during this phone call, Joran made Deepak aware that the parents of Miss Holloway were approaching the island, and they agreed they needed to meet with each other to discuss it.

ABOUT 11:00 PM DEEPAK SAYS HE CALLED JORAN; JORAN SAID HE WAS AT THE RADISSON CASINO WITH GUIDO

11:00 PM Before I finished working, I had called him again. He said that at that time he was in the casino of the “Radisson Hotel”. I said that I would come to where he was.
DEEPAK 6-11

At about 23:00 hours, I called Joran again on his mobile phone using the telephone of my workplace. I asked him again how he was doing and what he was doing. Joran told me that he was in the Radisson casino together with Guido. I had told him that I would be coming to where he was. Joran asked me, are you going to come? I said to him, yes, I am going to come. After this I hung up the phone.
DEEPAK 6-13

Later that night, when I called him around 23.00 hours he was in the "Radisson" casino. DEEPAK 6-16

Was this a slip of the tongue by Satish? Did Deepak really retrieve both Joran and Guido from the casino and either drive them around or sit in a parking lot someplace to talk things over?

SATISH SAYS HE PICKED DEEPAK UP FROM WORK AT 11:00

I also picked him up at 23.00 hours.Yes, when we got home in the nightly hours of Monday May 30th 2005, Deepak told me that he would be going to the casino with Joran. Deepak left alone to pick up Joran to go to the casino. I went to sleep because I had to go to school the next day.
SATISH 6-10 second statement

and at 23.00 hours I had picked him up from work After I had picked him up from work, we drove home. When we had arrived at home my brother told me that Joran was waiting for him at the casino. My brother had not told me which casino. My brother then went to Joran in the casino.
SATISH 6-11

Around 11 p.m. I picked my brother up from his work and we went home. When we arrived home my brother told me he was going to the casino because Joran was waiting there for him.

DEEPAK SAYS SATISH PICKED HIM UP AT 11:10, THEY DROVE HOME AND THEN HE WENT TO THE RADISSON TO MEET JORAN, GUIDO, AND ANDRE

11:15 PM Satish came and picked me up from work at approximately 23:10 hours at my place of work. I had brought Satish home because he had school the following day and also because my mother had been angry because we had stayed out late that day and that Satish hadn't gone to school. I then went to the “Radisson Hotel”. When I arrived there I met up with Joran, Guido and Andre. Joran was playing a poker tournament. I zat and watched. Joran was pretty inebriated that evening. We stayed there and played for about 2 hours after I arrived. I had arrived there at approximately 00;00 hours
DEEPAK 6-11

Between 23:25 hours and 23:35 hours, we arrived home. Satish got out of the car and I got behind the steering wheel. After that I drove through town to the Raddison Casino.
DEEPAK 6-13

Deepak has always expressed a concern with keeping his little brother out of the situation, and this tells us that concern began on the night of May 30th, after Deepak learned of the Twitty's impending arrival on the island.

DEEPAK TOLD SATISH HE COULDN'T GO TO THE CASINOS BECAUSE HE HADN'T GONE TO SCHOOL AND HE DIDN'T WANT ANY TROUBLE WITH THEIR MOTHER

Satish came and picked me up from work at approximately 23:10 hours at my place of work. I had brought Satish home because he had school the following day and also because my mother had been angry because we had stayed out late that day and that Satish hadn't gone to school. I then went to the “Radisson Hotel”.

At about 23:05 hours, my brother came and picked me up with my car. We then drove home. My brother was driving the car. We took the main road to our house. On the way home, I told Satish that Joran was at the casino and that i was going to meet him there. My brother wanted to come too. I told him he wasn't allowed to come, I also told him that he hadn't gone to school and that I didn't want any problems/trouble with my mother.

At the Aruba Grand I had won approximately U.S. 50,-. After that, at approximately 23.15 pm Guido and I arrived at the Radison Casino
JVDS 6-14

Joran, Guido and Deepak leave the area of the casinos and discuss this problem in Deepak's car - most likely with a phone call to Paulus.

ANDRE SAID JORAN AND GUIDO GO BACK TO JORANS HOME "TO GET MONEY"

Because Joran and Guido wanted to play a “live game”, they told me they went to Joran’s house to pick up money to gamble with June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos

Paulus, of course, had determined by the time he was arrested that all activities between 11:00 pm and 3:30 am that night would never reflect his actions.

PAULUS SAYS HE TURNED IN FOR THE NIGHT AT 11:00 PM

Sebastian and Valentijn went to bed at their normal bedtime of approximately 21.00 hours. I myself turned in for the night at approximately 23.00 hours.

Crimes Committed Against Natalee Holloway ~ Part 4

What was going on between 7:00 pm and 8:30 pm?

We believe this is when Paulus and Joran took Miss Holloway's remains out to sea on the Gottenbos boat. Here Joran sets himself up to be highly visible that night after 8:00 pm .

Part 3 detailed the most likely movements of Paulus van der Sloot during this time, and here now are Joran's activities for this timeframe.

JORAN SAYS TENNIS LESSON ENDED AT 7:00, HE SHOWERED AND THEN CALLED ANDRE ANDRE AGREES TO MEET HIM AT 8:00 AT THE WYNDHAM

Approximately 19.00 pm, I was ready with playing tennis. I showered in the clubhouse. After I had finised showering I got dressed. Then I called "Andre". We had agreed that we would meet at the Wyndham Hotel at approximately 20.00 pm to play poker.
JVDS 6-14

JORAN SAYS HE ALSO CALLS GUIDO AND ASKS HIM TO GO TO THE WYNDHAM GUIDO DECLINES SAYING HE HAS TO WORK, BUT MIGHT COME LATER

Approximately 19.00 pm, I was ready with playing tennis. I had then also called Guido. Guido had told me that he had to go to work. He would come later and try to enter the tournament for half time
JVDS 6-14

According to Paulus, this conversation took place in person, not over the phone. What then was the true nature of this phone call from Joran to Paulus at around 7:00 pm?

Giving confirmation that the boat was at the launch and ready to go?

JORAN SAYS HE THEN CALLED PAULUS TO ASK PERMISSION TO GO TO THE WYNDHAM TO GAMBLE

Approximately 19.00 pm, I was ready with playing tennis. I showered in the clubhouse. After I had finised showering I got dressed. I had also called my father and asked if I could play poker at the Wyndham Casino. My father gave me permission.
JVDS 6-14

Then we have Joran claiming to have been bouncing from one casino to the next for the hour of 7:00 - 8:00 pm

7:15 JORAN SAYS HE LEFT THE RACQUET CLUB AND STARTED WALKING TO THE WYNDHAM

At approximately 19.15 pm I left on foot for the Wyndham Hotel. I wa s alone. My tennis gear I had left behind the bar at the Raquet club. I had also removed my tennis shoes and left them in the bag behind. I had taken from my tennis bag a pair of slippers and walked away on those JVDS 6-14

JORAN SAYS WHILE WALKING TOWARD THE WYNDHAM, HE WALKS TOWARD THE MARRIOTT TO SEE IF HE CAN FIND HIS SHOES

From the clubhouse I walked in the direction of Salinja to the Marriot Hotel. I walked along the same route that Deepak had taken to drop off me and Natalee. At the beach of the Marriot I tried for a little while to find my shoes. They were nowhere to be found. I looked for about two minutes. Then I walked over the beach to the Wyndham Hotel. On the way there I saw a lot of people. I did not go to Fisherman's Hut to see if Natalee was still lying there. I at that moment was more worried about the shoes that I had left behind because I was unaware that Natalee had gone missing.
JVDS 6-14 7:45

JORAN SAYS HE ARRIVED AT THE ARUBA GRAND HOTEL AND HE GAMBLED FOR 15 MINUTES

At approximately 19.45 pm I arrived at the Aruba Grant Hotel & Casino. I know the time because I was watching at he big watch of the Wyndham Hotel. Via the pool I walked to the casino. I had gone there because I had U.S. 20,- on me. I played at the U.S. 5,- minimum black jack table. I wanted to play there so I could win some money so I that, after the tournament, I could play cash games with Guido. I played for about 15 minutes. At the end of the game I had U.S. 20,- again. In the casino I spoke with a woman that works there. She knows my face and had told me that she had watched me play poker and that she thought I played well/good. She had then told me that it was 20.00 pm
JVDS 6-14

8:00 PM JORAN SAYS HE LEAVES THE ARUBA GRAND AND STARTS WALKING TO THE WYNDHAM AGAIN

She had then told me that it was 20.00 pm. I immediately walked to the Wyndham Hotel & Casino. At the Wyndham Hotel I walked in through the beach entrance and walked to the casino. JVDS 6-13

Keep in mind what Paulus says he is doing at this time

PAULUS SAID THAT AROUND 8:00 HE TOOK THE BAG TO JORAN, AND JORAN WAS WALKING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE MARRIOTT. HE SAYS HE CAN'T REMEMBER IF HE SAW ANY OF JORAN'S FRIENDS AT THE RACQUET CLUB

We spoke last time about that Monday night when Joran was at the "Raquet Club", that I only took the bag with me. I am remembering that it was around 08:00pm when I took the bag to Joran at the “Raquet Club”, this was when Joran was walking in the direction of the Marriott and mad e the announcement that he was going to participate in the “Free Tournament” at the Wyndham that this came up. In my view I even grumbled (expressed concern) on Joran and then went on to pick up Sebastian at the ZEOLA family. Again I am not sure. This image comes in my head, but I had no reason at that moment to remember any of these things. I had done a lot on automatic pilot. Sure when it came to pickup and bring the kids back. I also don't know the relevance of this fact
SNIP
On your question if I saw other friends of Joran at the "Raquet Club" on that Monday night of May 30 2005, I can explain to you the following: I can't remember if I had seen Joran's friends. PVDS 6-25

The intense need by Joran to place himself amongst many of his friends, and in front of surveillance cameras for the remainder of the night is evidenced in the following statements.

JOHN Q KELLY SAYS JORAN AND GUIDO WEAVER WERE TOGETHER FROM 7:00 - 2:00 AM NOTE THAT THE FIRST PLACE KELLY MENTIONS IS THE WYNDHAM... ANDRE STATED JORAN DID NOT GET THERE UNTIL 8:30

KELLY: For the life of me, I don't know, Greta. You know, this is someone who, the evening of the morning Natalee disappeared, he was with Joran the entire evening, you know, there at the Windham Hotel, the Aruba Grand, then over at the Radisson from, you know, 7:00 in the evening until 2:00 the next morning, they were out in his car and doing different things. And he certainly should have at least been a person of interest that they should have nailed down all the questions that they wanted to ask him back the beginning of June. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,196661,00.html

ANDRE SAYS JORAN ARRIVED AT THE WYNDHAM AT 8:30

I asked Joran if he was on his way to the Wyndham hotel casino to play in the Texas Hold’m tournament. Joran told me he was on his way there. Around 20.30, Joran walked in to the Casa Blanca casino of the Wyndham hotel
June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos

JORAN SAYS THE TOURNAMENT STARTED AT 8:15

I met Andre and his dad at the Casino. Andre and myself stayed inside the casino and walked around until the tournament started. The tournament started at 20.15 pm.
JVDS 6-14

ANDRE SAYS IT TOOK A LONG TIME AFTER JORAN ARRIVED FOR THE TOURNAMENT TO START

I do remember that Joran walked in by himself. I walked up to Joran and I greeted him. I saw that Joran then registered to play Texas Hold’m poker. I must say that it lasted very long before the Tournament started I saw that Joran played black-jack during this time. Three Card but I now no longer remember which of the two
June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos

Meanwhile, Paulus is working on another portion of their problem, and learning about the timeliness of the effects on a person who has ingested drugs

8:34-8:37 ACCORDING TO A POLICE REPORT PAULUS IS SUPPOSEDLY ON THE INTERNET LOOKING UP DRUGS, ETC

According to an ARUBAN Police report (available here; Thank You and Hat Tip to “klaasend”) analyzing the computer hardrive records of the Suspects VAN DER SLOOT home computer that was found during the June 15, 2005 search and seizure to be physically located inside the Suspects VAN DER SLOOT main home, someone logged onto the computer as Former Murder Suspect PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT, and logs into several Internet pages via separate Google image searches of the words “alcohol,” then “alcohol“ and “bear,” then “drugs.” Links clicked on to open were for alcohol and drugs, and an attorney’s site. Several computer-HTML images were also uploaded to the Suspects SLOOT’s computer hardrive into a file entitled, “alcohol.” AOL TIMELINE

At this point Joran can simply relax. There is nothing more required of him that night, except to remain highly visible. The following is just simple corroboration of Joran making sure he was seen throughout the evening, and can be verified by friends and surveillance footage.

BY 8:45 JORAN SAYS HE HAS LOST ALL HIS MONEY IN THE TOURNAMENT

I was at a table with ten (10) people. At the beginning of the game everyone had to give their registration receipt to the "Dealer". Thirty (30) minutes later I had lost

Crimes Committed Against Natalee Holloway ~ Part 3

Paulus van der Sloot gave numerous conflicting statements about his activities between the hours of 4:00 pm and 8:00 pm the night of May 30th, 2005.

What was really transpiring during that time?

We surmise that Paulus had retrieved monies during his second trip to the CMB bank that afternoon - and the next few hours of his time were spent in such nefarious ways that he deliberately caused massive confusion about his own timeline.

FISHERMAN'S HUTS ARE BROKEN INTO, AND ITEMS ARE STOLEN

According to Police the huts were broken into around the time of her disappearance; a large knife and a huge steel fishing cage were stolen http://www.amw.com/features/feature_story_detail.cfm?id=827

DOMPIG: What is officially reported as stolen, though, is a big knife, and out of one of the fisher—fisherman‘s huts or—yes, where they keep their stuff, you could say. And that‘s the basis for us to search in the ocean.

THERE IS A PUBLIC BOAT LAUNCH IN BETWEEN THE HOLIDAY INN AND THE MARRIOTT

Coming from the holiday inn, continue straight for another hundred yards. turn left and head towards large construction mess at Marriott Surf. then turn left and follow straight. parking will be on the right near the boat ramp and slips http://bb.visitaruba.com/showthread.php=3ft=3d59

Here's why: Just 300 yards away from the boat launch is a series of fishing huts that have become infamous on the island. In sworn statements, the three lead suspects in Natalee's disappearance -- Joran van der Sloot, Satish and Deepak Kalpoe -- told Police that they left Natalee at those fishing huts the night of her disappearance.
11-5 “America’s Most Wanted” correspondent RICK SEGALL http://www.amw.com/features/feature_story_detail.cfm?id=827

Police have told Dave that the night after Natalee's disappearance [5-30/31], a boat was launched from an input just down the beach from the "Holiday Inn" where Natalee stayed. http://www.amw.com/features/feature_story_detail.cfm?id=827

HOLLOWAY: As far as Natalee's case, no. We did see a cross that somebody erected right there where the boat launch is and had her initials put up on the corner. We took pictures and that was the last day I stayed on the island. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/11/lkl.01.html

Rita, the van der Sloot maid was at the home at 4:30 pm that day. Was she still there at this time, and could her knowledge have been a cause for Paulus to become so forgetful about his actions?

PAULUS CHANGES THE DROP OFF TIME, AND WENT HOME AND HAD DINNER WITH THE OTHER TWO BOYS

Between 17.00 hours and 18.30 hours, I dropped off Joran in front of the entrance of the Aruba Raquet Club with my Suzuki so that he could take tennis lessons and go to the gym. He probably had his carrying bag with tennis necessities with him. I saw him enter the building. He had told me that he would afterwards b e going to the Wyndham Hotel because a “Free Carribean Stud Tournament” would be held. I immediately went home, had dinner with the other boys and after that I went to bed.
PVDS 6-18

Paulus must have been seen making his second trip to the Racquet Club to retrieve the bag Joran had left there for him, in readiness for the trip to sea with Miss Holloway's remains, and tries to explain away his actions.

PAULUS SAYS HE WENT HOME AFTER DROPPING OFF JORAN - WAS HOME AT 6:00 CANNOT NOW REMEMBER WHETHER HE DROPPED JORAN'S BAG OFF LATER ALSO NOW CANNOT REMEMBER WHETHER HE PICKED UP HIS TWO OTHER SONS

To your question whether I subsequently went to the “Raquet Club” to pick up his sports bag that he left behind there, I can state the following. I cannot remember. To the best of my recollection I did not return to the “Raquet Club” after I dropped off Joran. I am not 100% sure of that. But if I had gone back to then it would not have been to pick up the bag alone but also to bring Joran home. At approximately 18.00 on Monday May 30th 2005 I would have been home. I cannot remember anymore if I picked up Sebastian and Valentijn or whether they were dropped off at our home because during the time Anita was away there was not fixed structure to that. I think I did eat dinner with Valentijn and Sebastian.

Crimes Committed Against Natalee Holloway ~ Part 2

With a plan firmly in the minds of Joran and Paulus van der Sloot, they then made preparations to put that plan into action.

Were Paulus and Joran finalizing the details with Koen Gottenbos to take Miss Holloway's remains out to sea?

NO BODY, NO CASE ~ Paulus Van Der Sloot

TWITTY: Yes, there was a boat that Joran mentioned in one of his statements on June 9. It's actually a friend of his. It's Coon's (ph) father has a boat. And from what I'd understood, that there was some activity with that boat during the early morning hours of May 30, when these boys took Natalee. To what extent, we don't know. Whether forensics were done, whether the boat was searched, there's been a lot of speculation, but I really don't have any concrete follow-up information of what they actually did to the Coon's father's boat. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10295536/

What was the true purpose Joran was dropped off by Paulus at the Racquet Club? We believe there were two reasons for these actions:

1. To bring all other evidence to an area near the boat launch in his gym bag - Miss Holloway's clothing and personal effects she had on her person the previous night, and any/all soiled clothing of Joran's.

2. To coordinate with Koen Gottenbos the timing of his boat being at the boat launch for Joran and Paulus' use.

JORAN SAID AT APPROXIMATELY 5:00 HE IS DROPPED OFF AT THE RACQUET CLUB

At approximately 17.00 pm, I was dropped off by my father at the Raquet Club. Between the hours of 16.00 pm and 17.00 pm, I had done my homework and also "chatted". I do not remember with who I chatted. It could be possible that I chatted to Deepak because he does that a lot from where he works. I am not sure about that

PAULUS SAID HE DROPPED JORAN OFF AT THE RACQUET CLUB AT 5:00 OR LATER. DOESN'T REMEMBER FOR SURE IF HE WENT INSIDE

To your question what I did after 16.15 hours, I can state the following. I think I dropped Joran off at the “Raquet Club” at approximately 17.00 hours. I could have been later though. I cannot exactly remember anymore. To your question whether I saw Joran enter the “Raquet Club”, I can state the following. If I drop off Joran he normally walks inside. As far as I can remember he did do that at this occasion too but I do not know for sure

ART WOOD IS QUOTED AS SAYING WHEN HE INVESTIGATED, HE DISCOVERED JORAN NEVER PLAYED TENNIS THAT NIGHT

Former U.S. Secret Service agent Art Wood, who spent months on the island investigating the case, told The National Enquirer: "Joran told police that he played tennis with a friend during the evening hours. And the pal backed up his alibi.” "But when I investigated the Racquet Club I found that Joran had never played tennis there that night." http://www.nationalenquirer.com/crime/63342

JORAN ADIMTS HE DID NOT PLAY TENNIS AFTER ALL THAT DAY

Paul drops Joran off at the RC at 6:15, but none of his friends are there so he doesn't feel like playing tennis. He gives his trainer an excuse and goes to the gym where he meets Koen. They talk a while and then they ask Andre, David, and Joran's tennis buddy "Marco" (Guido) if they want to play poker at the Wyndham. Marco says he has to work until 10:00 in the HI casino. Andre says his dad will join them in the game. Joran calls Paul and asks permission, saying Marco will bring him home after, Paul says OK. Joran takes off his tennis shoes and puts on flip flops. He walks from the RC past the Salinja to the beach, then via the beach he reaches the Wyndham at 6:45 (Note: book doesn't mention looking for his shoes).

From available information it has become clear that on May 30th 2005 around 19:25 from number 588-xxxx (Deepak Kalpoe’s work location) received a call to number 562-xxxx which is the cell phone number of Joran van der Sloot. According to cell-id in the records this information was transmitted on mast 9181 (Casa del Mar/Eagle and after 2.28 minutes on the mast 9123 (Hadishibana – Lighthouse).

The Racquet Club is directly East of the Marriott, and the fisherman's huts. Fisherman's Huts are 300 yards NORTH of the boat launch, which is right by the Holiday Inn.

The Wyndham is at the South end of the high-rise hotels on Palm Beach - with only Divi Phoenix and the Mill Resort being further South of them..............all of which is still to the North of the Bird Sanctuary.

Now if we look at the map van der Straten drew, and a map of where the hotels sit, we have this:

Casa Del Mar mast id # 9181 is South of Hadishibana/Lighthouse mast id # 9123.

That tells us that Joran's phone was traveling NORTH from the Holiday Inn/boat launch area - in the direction of the Lighthouse (or Mariott). There are several more cell tower (masts) further South than the 9181 Casa Del Mar tower that covers the Holiday Inn.

Also - that cell tower (mast) covers ONLY the area around the HOLIDAY INN, doesn't even serve the area of the Marriott..............the Hadishibana/Lighthouse mast serves that area.

In fact - the ONLY hotels that mast (9181) serves are (starting with the Holiday Inn, and heading SOUTH):

Holiday Inn

*Playa Linda

*Hyatt Regency

*Brickell Bay Beach Club

*Allegro

* Denotes these hotels are served by additional cell towers (masts) in addition to 9181

We believe from this point forward, after the disposal of Miss Holloway's remains, Joran was attempting to create a very public alibi for his whereabouts that evening, via the casino surveillance cameras.

Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!

Crimes Committed Against Natalee Holloway ~ Part 1

The disappearance of Natalee Holloway on the island of Aruba May 29, 2005 has raised far more questions than have been answered.

In this next series of documents, we will show what are most likely the actual events that transpired on Monday, May 30th 2005, based on subsequent statements given by the suspects and witnesses involved.

In studying all information available to the public at this point, we believe we have determined a very plausible chain of events engaged in by the four main suspects in this case - Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, and Joran and Paulus van der Sloot - on the day following Miss Holloway's disappearance.

May 30th 6:00 am - 4:30pm

With this much deliberate conflict in the statements, what was really happening the morning and afternoon of May 30th, 2005?

Was Paulus' confusion about Joran's school attendance, and his own lack of detail about the day an attempt to cover up a meeting of all four with police officials at the Bubali police station? Was the inconsistency in the time Satish was supposed to go to school that morning due to the same reason? Was all of this misdirection put into place to then also cover their meeting at the van der Sloot home around the pool for the purpose of creating/finalizing the Holiday Inn alibi, in an attempt to tell the same story by the time Natalee was reported missing?

Anita van der Sloot lets it slip that Joran spoke with police on Monday, May 30 2005

ANITA VAN DER SLOOT: He hasn't told me anything, because, on the Monday, he went to school, like any normal boy. And he wasn't aware of—he was totally surprised when the police asked him to come to the—or picked him up for interrogation. He was totally surprised. He really thought that the girl would be safe in the hotel and there was no reason to talk about her at all.”
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8551822

Deepak gives a clear indication of having spoken with police on May 30th by referencing when he cleaned his car

He then asked me whether I wanted to go with to "Carlos & Charlies", because he had met a few girls and wanted to meet them again in "Carlos & Charlies". I agreed and told him that I would pick him up later.

A little before 23.00 hours I drove home. I ate something at home together with my brother Satish and after that I vacuumed the carpet on the inside of my car.
DEEPAK 6/9

To your question whether I can remember the day when I was summoned to the police station at Bubali, I can say the following. Yes I remember that day. About that I can state the following, I had vacuumed my car the previous day.
DEEPAK 6/10

Satish makes reference to a choller he had spoken about in his first police statement. No such reference is included in Satish's 5/31 statement, thus telling us he spoke with police on May 30th.

Joran: (to Deepak) Then you're going to tell shit about the choller. I have helped you with that that shit of the choller friend.

Deepak: And, I also said that.

Joran: That I have not read. I have also read that statement.

Satish: That of the chollers was from me. I have already told that before. I have also said that in my first statement.
police van 6/29

Mickey John's information tells us the suspects made up the Holiday Inn story on May 30th

VAN SUSTEREN: How certain are you that that your memory is correct that the family or the father was involved in creating this cover-up story?

JOHN: Well, he told me — he, all of them, sit and make up the story. He, Dutch guy, and the family. He told me they made up a story that they said they dropped the girl off at the Holiday Inn. She was talking to a black guy, security guard specific, dressed in black pants, black top. VAN SUSTEREN: So what percentage certain are you that he said family or father that was involved in this?

JOHN: He said family.

VAN SUSTEREN: So you're certain?

JOHN: I'm certain.

Was Joran at school on May 30th or not?

JORAN SAID HE WENT TO SCHOOL ON THE 30TH

At approximately 06.30, I woke up. Between 03.45 am and 06.30 am I talked to no-one on my mobile phone. At approximately 06.45 am I got on the bus. Between 06.30 am and 06.45 am I did not talk to anyone on my mobile phone. At approximately 08.00 am, I arrived at school on the bus. I had slept the entire time the bus took to get to school. During the ride to school I don't think I called anyone with my mobile phone. I do think that I had received a message from "Flor". I did not loan my phone out to anyone to make a phone call. I am sure of that. My school starts at 08.00 am and ends at 14.45 pm. ~ JVDS 6-14

6:30 E-mail or Text message to Steve Croes by Joran or Deepak 6:30 am Records show call from one of the 3 boys cellphones in Santa Lucia area in Aruba. (confirmed by Aruba Today) Monday morning to another cell located in the cell site of Santa Lucia. This is north of Santa Cruz and that cellsite covers the middle northern part of the island. (this is also listed in the newsarticles that Julie Renfro reported as confirmed) ~ Aruba Today

PAULUS SAID JORAN GOT ON THE BUS ON THE 30TH WITH HIS BROTHERS LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES, BUT HE IS NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE OF IT BECAUSE HE DIDN'T NOTICE IT

On May 30th in the hours of the morning, I did not notice anything different/out of the ordinary with Joran. According to me he got onto the bus of the I.S.A. with his brothers Sebastian and Valentijn just like he alway s does. I am not absolutely sure about that because I didn't notice it and because Joran didn't have to be at school every day during that period. He was busy with his final exams and sometimes he stayed home. ~ PVDS 6-18

PAULUS DOESN'T REMEMBER IF JORAN WENT TO SCHOOL ON THE 30TH

To your question whether Joran went to school on Monday May 30th 2005, I can state the following. I cannot precisely recollect whether Joran went to school that day. It is possible that he did not go to school that day. ~ PVDS 6-23

PAULUS DOESN'T THINK JORAN WENT TO SCHOOL ON THE 30TH

But I do not remember exactly which days he did not go with the bus. It could be that it was that Monday. Most likely I informed the bus driver that Joran would not be going with the bus. A clue to the fact that Joran did not go to school that Monday could be that on Tuesday I insisted that he went to school that day. ~ PVDS 6-23

The mother of the girl by that time had already left. At least I did not see her anymore. We were dropped off home by the officers. It was starting to get light. I woke up Valentijn and Sebastian and I also said to Joran that he had to go to school even though he wasn't in the mood to go. I know that I insisted that he should go. A reason for that might be that he had already not gone to school on Monday. I then left for work. ~ PVDS 6/23

When did the Kalpoe brothers really wake up, and why did Satish lie to his mother about what time school started that day?

DEEPAK SAID HE DID NOT WAKE UP UNTIL 1:30 or 2:00 PM, SATISH SAYS HE WOKE UP AT 1:00 PM

I had spoken to no-one until I woke up at approximately 14.00 ~ DEEPAK 6-09

On that Monday in question, I woke up around 13.30 hours. When I got out of my room, I saw that Satish had also come out of his room. ~ DEEPAK 6-13

1:00 PM My brother woke up around 1 p.m. I asked him how Joran did get home during the night ~ SATISH 6-13

SATISH DOES NOT GO TO SCHOOL ON THE 30TH

My school would start at 10.30 on Monday May 30th 2005. Did you go to school on Monday May 30th 2005? No, I did not go to school on Monday May 30th 2005. ~ SATISH 6-10 second statement

In the morning, at 6.30 a.m. my mother woke me up so I had to go to school. I told her I would not have classes that early and that my classes would start at 11.00 a.m. ~ SATISH 6-13

I woke up at 11.00 hours on Monday May 30th 2005. ~SATISH 6-10 second statement

On May 30th 2005 I had awoken between 11.00 hours and 12.00 hours When I woke up I asked my brother if he knew how Joran had made it to his house ~SATISH 6-11

My mother was then going to wake me up at 10.30 a.m. She though overslept and did not wake me up. I woke up around 12.00 noon ~SATISH 6-13

Did Paulus go to work that day or not? What was the reason for claiming a poor memory about his activities that day?

PAULUS SAID HE WENT TO WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00, BUT DOES NOT KNOW THE PRECISE TIME FOR SURE, AND DOESN'T REMEMBER IF HE CAME HOME DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY TO EAT

On May 30th at approximately 08.00, I went to work. The precise time I do not know for sure because during that period I had different hours on different days that I started working. I cannot remember any more if I came home to eat in the middle of the day because that too was different on different days. ~PVDS 6-18

PAULUS SAID HE WENT TO WORK, DOES NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT TIME BUT THINKS IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 8:00

To your question if I tell you all the things I did on that Monday the 30th of May 2005, I can state the following. I went to work. The exact time I cannot remember but I think it was approximately 08.00 hours. ~PVDS 6-23

Were the 10:00 trip to the CMB Bank, lying to the Kalpoe brother's mom, and Joran's questionable attendance at school all attempts to cover a trip to the Bubali police station by the four suspects on Monday, May 30th which was followed by the meeting around the pool at the van der Sloot home?

PAULUS SAID HE WENT TO THE CMB BANK AROUND 10:00 AND LEFT WITHOUT MAKING A TRANSACTION

I can also remember that around 10.00 hours I went to the C.M.B. bank. There were long cues at the bank so I left without having made any transaction and went back to work. ~PVDS 6-23

We believe the meeting all four suspects had at the Bubali police station took place around 10:00 am on Monday, May 30th. We also believe the meeting around the van der Sloot pool took place at approximately 11:00 am that morning.

PAULUS SAID HE LEFT WORK AND WENT TO THE BANK AGAIN AT 3:00

I left my workplace at approximately 15.00 hours. I arrived at the bank at approximately 15.30. I had gone to the C.M.B. bank that is situated in Noord. ~ PVDS 6-23

PAULUS SAID HE GOT HOME FROM WORK AT 4:30 AND THE KIDS WERE HOME

At approximately 16.30, I got home and the kids were already home. Because my wife was in the Netherlands I wanted to be home when the kids came home from school. ~ PVDS 6-18

Paulus stated that long lines prevented him from making a deposit to the C.M. Bank during his 10:00 am visit to the bank. Paulus states he left work and arrived again at the bank at 3:30 PM, yet he claims that he didn’t get home until 4:30 PM that same day.

What type of banking transaction takes 40 - 50 minutes to complete? Did Paulus go somewhere else after that visit to the bank, and before he went home?

PAULUS SAID HE LEFT WORK AT 3:00, GOES TO THE BANK AND GETS HOME FROM THE BANK AT 4:15. JORAN AND RITA, THE MAID ARE THERE, HE DOESN'T REMEMBER IF THE OTHER TWO KIDS ARE THERE

To your question whether I went to the bank without stopping or going anywhere else, I can state the following. I at least cannot remember having been anywhere else. I think I went directly to the bank. At the bank I talked to Ruth DIJKHOFF. At the bank I deposited the money that Joran said that he had won in the “Free Tournament in the Holiday Inn” on the 29th of May 2005. It was approximately 500 Aruban guilders. Joran had given me 100 guilders because he had taken over my place in the tournament. After depositing the money I went home. I cannot exactly remember what time it was when I got home. I think it was 16.15 hours. According to me both Rita and Joran where at home. Whether Valentijn and Sebastian where also there that Monday I cannot remember anymore because Valentijn and Sebastian quite often went over to a friends house during that time-period. Whether I went with Joran to eat at a fast food restaurant that afternoon I cannot remember. I can only remember that while Anita was away I went and ate with him once. I don't think it is likely that we did that day because I left work at approximately 15.00 hours. ~ PVDS 6-23

JORAN SAID HE GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL ABOUT 4:00

Approximately 14.45 pm, I got back onto the school bus to be driven home. I arrived at home at approximately 16.00 pm. It is possible that I called someone or that someone called me. It is also possible that I sent or received messages. I am sure Satish didn't and Deepak it is possible. If I had talked to Deepak then I would have asked him what he had been doing that day or what he was going to do. ~ JORAN 6-14

DEEPAK GOES TO WORK AT 3:30/3:45

At about 15.30 hours, my brother drove me to work with my car because I do not want to park my car in the parking lot/parking space. After that I started working. ~ DEEPAK 6-13

Around 3.45 p.m. I brought my brother to his work at Sea Port Market Place. During the rest of the day I did not hear from Joran ~ SATISH 6-13

Unbeknownst to the Kalpoe brothers, we believe Joran and Paulus had developed a plan for disposal of Miss Holloway's remains by this point in the day, and were making preparations.

Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!

EARLY MORNING MEETING ~ BUBALI POLIS STATION

2007-10-08T13:27:00.000-07:00

May 31st 2005 - 8:00 am

Beth reveals in her book, Loving Natalee, that Deepak's vehicle was observed behind the Bubali police station at 8:00 AM on the morning of May 31, 2005, and remained there for the next several hours.

Beth Holloway - LOVING NATALEE - 05/31/05
Page 59
Jug, Jodi and I arrive at Bubali at eight o'clock sharp. One of the first things I notice is Deepak Kalpoe's silver-gray car parked in the back. It's definitely his. I spent a lot of time staring at it last night. The tag. The details. Not sure what to make of this, I mentally prepare myself for an encounter with Joran van der Sloot and Deepak Kalpoe inside the police station. And maybe I'll also get a look at the other guy, Satish. We proceed through the gravel and dirt parking lot and enter the front of the small, sea-foam green stucco building.

ONE PERIOD IN TIME - FOUR DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS

1. Deepak Kalpoe
Deepak claims in his suspect statement of June 13, 2005 that after Paulus, Joran and he are dropped off at the VDS' by police in the early morning hours of May 31, 2005, there was a discussion with Paulus inside Joran's room. A short time later, he claims he drove straight home - arriving at approximately 6:45 AM.

Deepak Kalpoe - Suspect Statement - 06/13/05
The police officers drove from the Holiday Inn to Joran's house. The police had dropped us off at Joran's house. We then went to Joran's room because Joran's dad wanted to talk to us so we sat down on the floor, because Joran's mattresses were on the floor in his room. It was already about 06:10 hours, and I said that it really is late and that I had to go home. I got up and walked to the door. I said my goodbyes and drove home. I went with my car and drove home via the road leading through Paradera. At approximately 06:45 hours, I got home.

2. Satish Kalpoe
Satish claims in his suspect statement of June 10, 2005 that when Deepak arrived home at 6:30 AM on the morning of May 31, 2005, Deepak conveyed that he had been at police station being questioned in regards to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

Satish Kalpoe - Suspect Statement - 06/10/05
How late did you wake up on Tuesday?
I had awoken at approximately 06.30 hours on Tuesday.
Was Deepak home at that time?
Deepak had just come home. I had asked Deepak where he had been. Deepak then told me he came from the police station. [i]Deepak told me that he had to go to the police station because of the girl that had been with us on Sunday May 29th 2005.

3. Joran van der Sloot
Joran claims in his June 14, 2005 suspect statement that after the police dropped Paulus, Deepak and him off at home, the three had a discussion outside the residence and following the discussion Deepak went home. However, Deepak claims in his June 13, 2005 suspect statement that the discussion took place inside Joran's room.

Joran van der Sloot- Suspect Statement - 06/14/05
Deepak pointed out the spot were we dropped off Natalee. At approximately 05.30 am, we went back to our house with the police. When we arrived there I don't remember what was talked about outside. Deepak got into his car and drove off. My father and myself walked inside.

4. Paulus van der Sloot
Contrary to Joran and Deepak's claims, Paulus implies in his June 13, 2005 witness statement that only he and Joran were dropped off by the Police. Paulus fails to mention Deepak.

Paulus van der Sloot - Witness Statement - 06/18/05
We decided to go to the “Holiday Inn” to go and look for the girl, but without any positive result. It was morning already when Joran and myself were dropped off by the police at home. We did not go to bed anymore.

CONCLUSION

Could the agenda for the early morning meeting at the Bubali police station on May 31, 2005 have been an opportunity for getting stories straight in preparation for the afternoon interrogations? Could it have been a regroup session after all that had taken place since the "off the record" meetings of the previous day, May 30 2005?

A POSSIBLE CHAIN OF EVENTS

When Beth's words in her book, Loving Natalee, are considered which claim Deepak's vehicle was observed behind the Bubali police station for several hours at 8:00 AM on the morning of Tuesday, May 31, 2005 as well as the contradicting statements of Joran, Deepak and Paulus - could the following chain of events reflect the movements of Paulus, Joran and Deepak immediately after the encounter with the Twitty group at the Holiday Inn?

1. Police drove Joran, Deepak and Paulus back to the VDS' residence from the Holiday Inn.

2. As his vehicle was parked at the VDS' residence, only Deepak would have gotten out of the police vehicle.

3. Police drove Joran and Paulus to the Bubali police station while Deepak drove his own vehicle.

4. Deepak, Joran and Paulus discussed the events of the preceding hours with Dennis Jacobs and/or Jan van der Straaten at the Bubali police station and attempted to get stories straight in preparation for the afternoon interrogations.

5. Deepak leaves his vehicle at the police station as a detailed cleaning of the interior is warranted.

6. Deepak is driven home by police following the meeting and informs Satish that he had been at the police station.

7. Joran and Paulus are then dropped off at home.

8. Beth leaves the Bubali station at approximately 12:30 pm, and notices Deepak's vehicle is still there.

* All suspects state they were not questioned until the afternoon hours of May 31, 2005, so what was Deepak's vehicle doing in the parking lot of the Bubali police station as early as 8:00 am?

* What logical reasons could there have been for Aruban law enforcement to have posession of Deepak's vehicle for several hours on May 31, 2005? Forensics were not done on the vehicle until June 9, 2005.

* At a minimum, Dennis jacobs and possibly Jan van der Straaten were doing something with Deepak's vehicle on May 31, 2005. Were they also conspiring with the four suspects on that morning?

* Exactly what was revealed by either Deepak's car, or the suspects themselves that forced Dennis Jacobs to turn Beth Holloway away that morning, without taking her statement?

Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!

ARUBAN JUSTICE FOR NATALEE HOLLOWAY WAS NEVER A CONSIDERATION

2007-10-05T12:38:00.000-07:00

Beth Holloway Twitty - 'Scarborough Country' - 10/21/05

HOLLOWAY TWITTY: They never—they never wanted to implicate these three young men. They never wanted to implicate them from the beginning. And there is a list of reasons, you know, why we know that is true.

THE MISSING PERSON’S REPORT - THE CATALYST TO A COVERUP

1. THE PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT CONNECTION The chaperone, Paul Lilly, reported Natalee Holloway's disappearance to the Beach Patrol/Visibility Team on the morning of Monday, May 30, 2005. The chain of command implies that a copy of the Missing Person's Report was passed on to either the Bubali or Noord police station which are located equal distances from the offices of the the Beach Patrol/Visibility team.

It could be assumed that Paul Lilly included in his report a description of Joran as well as a description of Deepak's vehicle as conveyed by the MB students. This information contained within the Missing Person's Report had the ability to give way to speculation by either Jan van der Straaten or Dennis Jacobs and this speculation may have led to Paulus van der Sloot, a close friend and colleague, being contacted/forewarned.

Jan Van Der Straaten - NANCY GRACE - 06/02/05

GRACE: Commissioner Jan Van Der Straten is with us from Aruba. Commissioner, when exactly was she reported missing?
VAN DER STRATEN: She was reported missing on Monday morning

Beth Twitty - NANCY GRACE - 10/03/05

B. TWITTY: Yes, there was a DEA on island, Eric Williams (ph) -- that`s another story, Nancy. But, anyway, they met us there at the Holiday Inn lobby because Paul Lilly (ph) had had such a horrific time on that Monday, the 30th, just trying to get help. He had been speaking with the beach patrol, visibility team, no one seemed to know -- talk about the right hand and left hand -- no one knew how to guide him or help him begin.

Paulus van der Sloot - NOVA/TWAN HUYS - 06/28/05

Paulus van der Sloot: That gives a feeling of absurdity. It is indeed almost unimaginable that by someone you actually know very well, where you worked together with for a long time, that that one comes to tell you that you are suspected of complicity to murder.
HUYS: Who was that in your case?
VAN DER SLOOT: That was, in this case, that was the leader of the team of police commissioners.
HUYS: Jan van der Straaten.
VAN DER SLOOT: That was Jan van der Straaten, yes.
HUYS: And you know each other very well?
VAN DER SLOOT: Yes.

Eric Zaandam - President Police Union, Aruban television 8/28/06

Now, information are coming out that Jan v/d Straatten was indeed investigated and had telephone conversations with people about the case that he should not have contacts with, or even talk about the case.

Rudy Croes - Minister of Justice - Top 95 radio 8/28/06

Aruban Minister of Justice Mr. Rudy Croes, in relationship with the Natalee Holloway investigation, revealed a very serious information in direction of Van der Straaten.

Minister Croes revealed that he knows about various telephone calls of Van der Straaten and that he, the minister, knows with whom Van der Straaten was talking to…...

2. MAY 30, 2005 "OFF THE RECORD" INTERROGATIONS?

Joran van der Sloot:

On July 12, 2005 Anita Van der Sloot stated in a Joe Scarborough interview that Joran was picked up from school by police on Monday, May 30, 2005. Joran has never implied in interviews or declarations that he was ever picked up by police for questioning.

Anita Van der Sloot - 'Scarborough Country' - 07/12/05

ANITA VAN DER SLOOT: He hasn't told me anything, because, on the Monday, he went to school, like any normal boy. And he wasn't aware of—he was totally surprised when the police asked him to come to the—or picked him up for interrogation. He was totally surprised. He really thought that the girl would be safe in the hotel and there was no reason to talk about her at all.”

Deepak Kalpoe:

In his official statement of June 10, 2005 Deepak Kalpoe claims that he vacuumed his vehicle prior to picking up Joran Van der Sloot on Sunday May 29, 2005. He also states that he remembers telling interrogators at Bubali that his vehicle was very clean because he had vacuumed his car the prior evening. This would imply Deepak was questioned by police at Bubali station on May 30, 2005.

Deepak Kalpoe - Suspect Statement - 06/09/05

He then asked me whether I wanted to go with to "Carlos & Charlies", because he had met a few girls and wanted to meet them again in "Carlos & Charlies". I agreed and told him that I would pick him up later. A little before 23.00 hours I drove home. I ate something at home together with my brother Satish and after that I vacuumed the carpet on the inside of my car. After I finished vacuuming I went and took a shower. A little before 0.00 hours I drove to Joran's house. Joran lives on the address Montanja 19.

Deepak Kalpoe - Suspect Statement - 06/10/05

To your question whether I can remember the day when I was summoned to the police station at Bubali, I can say the following. Yes I remember that day. You are telling to me that my car looked very clean on that day. About that I can state the following, I had vacuumed my car the previous day.

Satish Kalpoe:

On June 29, 2005 in a secretly recorded conversation in a police van, Satish Kalpoe conveys to Joran that he told police about the choller in his first police statement. Satish's witness statement of May 31, 2005 has been revealed and there is no mention of the choller. It can be assumed that the first statement Satish is referring to must have been taken on May 30, 2005.

Satish Kalpoe - Leaked Police Vehicle Recording - 06/29/05

Joran: (to Deepak) Then you're going to tell shit about the choller. I have helped you with that that shit of the choller friend. Deepak: And, I also said that. Joran: That I have not read. I have also read that statement. Satish: That of the chollers was from me. I have already told that before. I have also said that in my first statement.

3. THE BUBALI/NOORD POLICE STATIONS?

On May 31, 2005 Joran, Deepak and Satish were officially interrogated as witnesses by Dennis Jacobs at the Bubali Police Station. On June 1, 2005 Beth gave a statement at the Bubali Police Station. However, Dave Holloway was directed to the Noord police station upon his arrival on the Island that same day. Why was Dennis Jacobs who interrogated Joran, Deepak and Satish at Bubali on May 31, as well as Beth at Bubali on June 1, 2005 now officiating at the Noord Police Station later in the day of June 1, 2005?

Beth Holloway - LOVING NATALEE - 06/01/05
Page 76

It's cold inside the Bubali police station Wednesday morning. Jug, Jodi, and I wait, again, to give our statements. The time is ticking away. An hour passes. Then another one. ... And finally detective Jacobs comes out to the waiting area to get me.

Detective Jacobs says he will only take my statement, not the others.

Dave Holloway - Aruba: Corruption in Paradise - 06/02/05

When I arrived in Aruba with my family, we hit the island running. We rented a car and immediately headed out to find a police station. There were only four on the island and I was amazed to find that first two we entered knew nothing about Natalee's disappearance. We were then directed to a third one, the Noord Police Station. I walked in and said, "I'm Dave Holloway and I need to talk to you about my daughter who is missing." A man in the back stood up and said, "How much money do you have?". That was how I first met Detective Dennis Jacobs, the investigator who was assigned to handle Natalee's case after Beth made a report to him upon her arrival on the island.

CONCLUSION

Was the reasoning behind Beth and Jug Twitty giving their statements at the Bubali Police Station on June 1, 2005, while Dave Holloway was directed to the Noord station that same day to speak with Jacobs, because a plan to protect Joran and Paulus van der Sloot from implication was well under way - an agenda set into motion by the filing of a Missing Person's Report on the morning of May 30, 2005?

In pursuance of the agenda to protect Joran and Paulus van der Sloot from implication, could Paulus' friends and colleagues Dennis Jacobs and Jan van Straaten have assumed complete control of information gathering and manipulation pertaining to a missing American named Natalee Holloway almost immediately following the filing of the Missing Person's Report by the chaperone Paul Lilly?

Pages 9/10

Jacobs painted a scenario that questioned all of the beliefs and values that we had instilled in Natalee. He insinuated that she had met someone and fallen in love. "This happens all the time. She will probably show up in a few days", he theorized. "She was just partying hard," he added. "Don't worry. Just go down to Carlos'n Charlie's and have a beer."

Jacobs also told us that the day before we arrived, he had interviewed the boys who eventually became the three main suspects in Natalee's disappearance ...... Jacobs considered the boys' statements to be consistent in that they had all said that they dropped Natalee off at the hotel. However, I did not realize at the time that Beth had already told him that the tapes did not show Natalee returning to the Holiday Inn that night.

The statement is printed out and I sign it. But I am not allowed a copy of it.

Jug comes back to the little office as I unwind my legs from my arms to get up from the chair, preparing to leave. Jacobs makes a febble attempt to comfort us by saying. "You know ... she'll show up. You should just go to Carlos 'n Charlie's and a crack addict will bring her back when she runs out of money."

Shocked, I reply. "Wait a minute. The two young men who were last seen with her told us they left her at the hotel. Remember? I just gave you all that information. ... Besides, I already told you she doesn't have a debit card with her, and I showed you all her cash. It was in her bag. Who-ever has her isn't keepinig her for the money."

Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!

CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST NATALEE HOLLOWAY

2007-09-17T07:20:00.000-07:00

May 30th, 2005 - The Cover Up Had Begun

The activities that were taking place on the Island of Aruba on May 30, 2005 involving Paulus, Joran, Deepak and Satish indicate that the cover up regarding crimes committed against Natalee Holloway were already in the implementation stages.

1. There are those who theorize that Joran van der Sloot was never at the beach with Natalee Holloway. Satish Kalpoe's attorney, Dave Kock, confirms that on the morning of May 30, 2005 cell phone records place Joran van der Sloot near the Marriot Hotel. Also, the gardener places Deepak and Joran across the street from the Marriot beach at 2:30 AM on the morning of May 30, 2005.

Dave Kock - On the Record w/ Greta - 08/26/05
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: All right. So your client, 2 o'clock to 3 o'clock, is on the Internet at home. I've been in his room. I've seen the computer, or at least where it was. And he gets phone calls at 2:40 and 3 a.m. from Joran. Where do the cell records place the phone that Joran is using at 2:40 and 3 o'clock in the morning?
DAVID KOCK, SATISH KALPOE'S ATTORNEY:: Well, there's not an exact pinpoint indication, but the general area is the area here in north in Palm Beach of the hotel.
VAN SUSTEREN: So it looks like he's not home at that hour, but someplace near the Marriott, is that right?
KOCK: That is correct. He is in this neighborhood.

Carlos Ramos (Gardener) - Court Testimony - 08/15/05
On questions of the judge-commissar, the witness explains as follows: I do not know Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe.

1. Can you remind yourself the declaration, which you have taken off 22 July 2005 on around 19.25 compared with the police force?
RAMOS: Yes
2. Have you then spoken the truth?
RAMOS: I have explained what I have seen.
3. The witness is asked to make a situation drawing (make production 1). The witness gives to where the car of suspect stood and the route he took.
4. Did you see the face of the driver when you went past?
RAMOS: Yes.
5. Did you recognize him with a photograph confrontation?
RAMOS: Yes, on the day that I gave a declaration at the police force they left me a photograph see from an illustrated magazine. That is the only photograph that they showed me.
6. Did you recognize the faces of the other persons in the car?
RAMOS: Yes, the face of the person who sat beside the driver. When I came past I saw, in the light of my car, that the person beside the driver had his head and face covered with his hands. I have recognized that person from his illustration (photo). You ask me how I recognized the driver who sat beside the man who screened its face? I have seen him in the light of my "in the light of" (van). He moved himself a bit to the back.
7. You have also recognized Deepak Kalpoe?
RAMOS: yes, on the same photograph which the police force showed me.

Beth Twitty - CNN LARRY KING LIVE - 02/23/06
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: ... Deepak panicked. He panicked when the gardener gave that testimony. That very afternoon, he called an Aruban girl to help him establish an alibi. She, in turn, panicked. She called FBI. She dialed the 1-877-NATALEE number and told them that she did not want to be involved in this.

2. On the morning of May 30, 2005 was Paulus Van der Sloot summoned to the Marriot Beach area after Natalee Holloway died in the course of wrongdoings which involved his son? Did Paulus van der Sloot, with the assistance of others, move Natalee's body on the morning of May 30, 2005 to an undisclosed location? Was some thus far unknown “white vehicle” involved?

Jossy Mansur - NANCY GRACE - 07/29/05
MANSUR: there`s another witness that, before that, told someone that works at the hotels that he saw a white pick-up over there by the Holiday Inn, in which three persons were also in, all of them male, carrying what looked like the body of a girl, putting it in the back of the white pick-up and driving away with it.

David Mattingly: Cnn Correspondent - PAULA ZAHN NOW - 07/05/05
MATTINGLY: Defense attorneys for the Kalpoe brothers tonight confirmed to CNN that testimony from fishermen telling investigators that they didn't see a couple matching the description of Natalee Holloway and Joran van der Sloot on that beach the night that Natalee turned up missing. What they are saying is that they saw a white Suzuki on that beach …

Karl Penhaul: CNN Correspondent - NANCY GRACE - 07/14/05
PENHAUL: What the fishermen do, interestingly, say, though, is that sometime in the timeframe when they were there, they`re assuming sometime around 3:00 AM, that they saw a Jeep-type vehicle pull up near the beach. That was the only vehicle that they saw close to the beach, a Jeep-type vehicle.

T.J. Ward: Private Investigation - 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - 11/14/05
WARD: We think he has played a role in the cover up of her disappearance.
COSBY: How strong do you also still believe that the three boys played a role too from everything that you are getting?
WARD: We believe the boys are directly involved. And again, our theory is that something happened to Natalee, either where she stopped breathing, had a heart attack or whatever. And in the course of that happening, we think Paul Van der Sloot played a part in the after effect of that in the removal and concealing of Natalee Holloway.

Art Wood: Private Investigation - Sun Herald - 03/17/07
Wood told the more than 50 people who attended the Merrill Lynch-sponsored presentation about his experience in Aruba, where he believed three young men -- Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe -- attempted to rape Holloway. In the process, he believed they accidentally killed her, then sought the advice of van der Sloot's prominent father to dispose of the body in the open ocean. Wood believed van der Sloot's father also used his connections to control the investigation. The case remains unsolved.

Gerold Dompig - 48 HOURS MYSTERY - 03/22/06
Dompig says he believes Paulus Van der Sloot does know more than he has been telling about the circumstances surrounding Holloway's disappearance.

Gerold Dompig - 48 HOURS MYSTERY - 03/22/06
The Aruban authorities’ new theory is that someone, someone possibly very close to the young suspects, took the time to carefully hide the body, not once but maybe twice, literally re-burying her.

Riehl World View - Thursday, June 16, 2005 at 04:53 AM
On Natalee's Yahoo forum there is a report that a helicopter is searching Santa Lucia area because according to the cell phone records of one of the three suspects there was a call in the Santa Lucia area at 6:30 am the morning Natalee was to have met up with the group to leave for airport.

3. Jossy Mansur conveys to Greta that the caretaker of the Fishermen's Huts located on the Marriott Beach reported that there was a break in on the morning that Natalee Holloway went missing. The items stolen were very significant when the disposal of a body is considered. Tim Miller claims that Gerold Dompig told him he believes that Natalee Holloway could have been put in the stolen fish trap and taken out to sea.

Jossy Mansur - On the Record w/ Greta - October 21, 2005
VAN SUSTEREN: Now, how big is this cage?
MANSUR: It is a big cage, it is a fish trap made with chicken coop wire. You know the ones that have the round holes in them? That’s pretty big.
VAN SUSTEREN: Could you put a body in it? Could you put someone 5’4” or 5’6” in it? MANSUR: Jossy: Yes, you can.
VAN SUSTEREN: Was this reported…she disappeared on the 30th. When was this first reported missing?
MANSUR: It was reported to the police that same morning by the caretaker. The man who looks after the fishermen’s huts.
VAN SUSTEREN: So, it wasn’t because he had heard there was a missing person? It was just coincidentally I have a missing cage and reported it?
Jossy: That is correct. He just told them there were a knife missing and a big fish trap missing.

Tim Miller/Gerold Dompig - KPRC Local 2 - 01/11/06
On Friday, EquuSearch founder Tim Miller and a deepwater search team from Florida will travel back to Aruba to search an area three to five miles off the island's coast that is between 800 to 1,000 feet deep, Miller told KPRC Local 2 that Aruba’s police commissioner told him that he feels Holloway might be inside a fish trap dropped deep into the water.

4. In Deepak Kalpoe's suspect statement of June 29, 2005 he concedes that he was creating internet chatter with a friend, John Charles Croes, on the morning of May 30, 2005 to obstruct the investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. How did Deepak know that there was going to be an investigation? Natalee Holloway had yet to be reported missing.

Deepak Kalpoe - Suspect Statement - 06/11/05
To your question as to how late we got home, I can say the following. We arrived home approximately 02.20 hours. When we got home Satish immediately went to bed. I had switched on the television. I had also turned on the computer in my room. I went and chatted with a friend of mine on “MSN”. His name is John Charles Croes. I had told the afore mentioned CROES during the chat that we had gone out and that I was waiting for a friend of mine because I had dropped him off on the street together with a girl. After having chatted with John I went into the living room and watched TV.

Deepak Kalpoe - Suspect Statement - 06/29/05
You are telling me that John Charles CROES has stated that I wrote while I was chatting with him that I had written that the girl had put her hands in/down my pants, I can say the following. I did this to frustrate/mess up the investigation. The purpose of the chat traffic was to help the police and the Office of the DA with regard to the investigation so that they could see that I was indeed home in the night from Sunday to Monday.

5. After claiming in his witness statement of June 18, 2005 that he had slept "solidly" through the night of May 30, 2005, Paulus van der Sloot concedes that he may have used his phone.

Paulus van der Sloot - Witness Statement - 06/18/05
On May 30th 2005, in the nightly hours, I did not pick up Joran from anywhere. I slept solidly through the night without waking up. On May 30th in the hours of the morning, I did not notice anything different/out of the ordinary with Joran.

Greta Van Susteren - On the Record /w Greta - 07/03/05
VAN SUSTEREN: I am most anxious to find out if there was e-mail traffic or phone traffic among the three in custody in the early morning hours of May 30. I am also curious whether Paul van der Sloot used his phone between midnight and 7 a.m. on May 30. He told me no... he told the Dutch TV correspondent on camera no... but after the interview with the Dutch TV correspondent, he pulled him aside and said maybe he did make a call and that he was not sure. Honest mistake or does he fear to be in conflict with phone records now in custody of the police? These questions answered would be, in my mind, a huge jump forward in trying to sort out what did or did not happen.

6. In Rita Cosby and Nancy Grace interviews Beth Twitty claims that Paulus van der Sloot stated on the morning of May 31, 2005 that he had picked up Joran/them (?) at McDonalds at 4:00 AM on the morning of May 30, 2005. Paulus adamantly refutes Beth's words. However, Karin Janssen's official position within the investigation would indicate that she was deriving from a foundational knowledge when she stated that investigators suspected Paulus of being involved in Natalee's disappearance. Then in January 2007, the Superior Court ruled against compensation for Paulus van der Sloot in a wrongful detention lawsuit. The ruling stated that Paulus' detention was justified as his own declaration stated that he had picked up Joran and Natalee at McDonalds on the morning of May 30, 2005.

Beth Twitty - 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - 03/21/06
TWITTY: ... He had initially told the witnesses that he himself had picked up Joran Van Der Sloot at 4:00 a.m. on the night of the 30th. But he later changed it about three weeks into the investigation that he did not pick up Joran at 4:00 a.m. on the 30th.

Beth Twitty - NANCY GRACE - 08/12/05
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: And the night that we arrived on the island -- you know, Jug does not misinterpret a 4:00 AM time pickup to 11:00 PM. I mean, Paulus Van Der Sloot stated that he picked them up at 4:00 AM on May the 30th. Then -- we don`t know who they were, but then even as far as June 16 and June 17, Mr. Van Der Sloot was still stating this 4:00 AM pickup. Only until around -- maybe it was when he was picked up or arrested did he change it to 11:00 PM that I had knowledge of.

Karin Janssen - USA TODAY - 06/30/05
“They spoke about the situation that when there is no body you don’t have a case, and that was already in the first day after the disappearance,” Janssen said. Janssen said that the elder van der Sloot had obstructed the investigation by asking a friend of Joran, who had been interrogated by police, what he had told them. Janssen told MSNBC that he was arrested because investigators believed he was also a suspect in the disappearance.

Superior Court - January, 2007
" ... The tapped information and his declaration that he picked up Joran and Natalee by the McDonalds Palm Beach and brought them to the Holiday Inn, are clearly understood by the Dept. of Justice, and could in the judgment of this Superior Court, be considered as an indication of the involvement of Paulus in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway."

7. Is there a Steve Croes and Geoffrey Van Comvoirt connection in regards to the assistance that Paulus Van der Sloot may have received if he was instrumental in moving the body Natalee Holloway from the Marriot Beach area on the morning of May 30, 2005?
Steve Croes involved himself in the Natalee Holloway case by providing a false alibi for Joran, Deepak and Satish. Geoffrey Van Comvoirt's association with the Visibility Police/Beach Patrol would afford him access to a "white pickup".
Also, Steve Croes and Geoffrey Van Comvoirt representation by the same attorney was sanctioned by Karin Janssen while she considered a similar situation a conflict of interest in regards to the security guards.

Beth Twitty - On the Record w/ Greta - 04/18/2006
TWITTY: .... And when I think of Joran van der Sloot and when I think of Steven Croes and I think of this new suspect (GVC) and the lies that were coming out early, very early, the moment we arrived on the island, if we find out that these three suspects are acquaintances or know each other — somebody needs to connect the dots. I mean, there certainly is a reason why Steven Croes came forward early on and stated, lied to the authorities that he had seen the two security guards taking Natalee. You know, people don't just do that for no reason, Greta. Somebody needs to connect the dots on those three, if they know each other.

Beth Twitty - NBC13 - 04/19/06
Natalee's mother, Beth Twitty, said she is hearing another story. " ... I'm hearing he (GVC) is also an acquaintance of Stephen Croes," Twitty said. Croes is a party boat disc jockey who was arrested early on in Natalee's case. He backed up van der Sloot's first story about dropping Natalee off at a Holiday Inn. "I have a feeling all of these suspects are tied together in some way," Twitty said.

John Kelly - On the Record w/ Greta - 04/19/05
KELLY: I know that's the situation. It's a woman, and that is the person who represented Croes and would be representing this individual now. And actually, Ms. Janssen, when I talked to her today, she was just getting ready to turn over the dossier to "G.V.C.'s" attorney for review before they did go into court.
VAN SUSTEREN: Then it's bizarre that this lawyer would represent both Steve Croes and GVC because at least here in the United States, I think most lawyers would say that there is a potential for conflict of interest and a lawyer shouldn't be representing both.
KELLY: I think that's right ......

Chris Lejez - ASSOCIATED PRESS - 06/11/05
Lejuez dropped John as a client per a request from the prosecutor, who said it's not ethical for him to represent both clients.

Chris Lejuez - NANCY GRACE - 06/07/05
LEJUEZ: I have been the defense attorney for both of them for the last two days. But as of tomorrow, I will be only for one of them, because apparently there will be a conflict of interest in defending them both. This has been told to me by the public prosecutor, so I will be resigning from one of the cases.

8. In Freddy's June 12, 2005 witness statement he reveals that Joran conveyed the Holiday Inn fabrication to him on the afternoon of May 30, 2005. This communication would imply that Joran was well aware that something had happened to Natalee Holloway, and this was hours before her family arrived to begin looking for her.

Freddy Zedan - Witness Statement - 06/12/05
Monday afternoon on the 30th, Joran came to my house. He told me that the previous day, Sunday, he had befriended a girl in the Holiday Inn casino and that she had invited him to come to Carlos and Charlies that evening.

After that they drove to the hotel. When the girl had pushed open the door of the car, she fell to the ground. Joran wanted to help her but she shoved him away. (....) The next day, Tuesday May 31st 2005 in the afternoon, I was with Joran at the raquetclub.
Joran's Book - Translation Credit: Rammstein

9. One of the security guards, Mickey John, claims in the Greta interview of June 29, 2005 that while detained Deepak told him that Paulus was involved in the collaboration of the Holiday Inn fabrication. This would imply that the collaboration must have taken place on May 30, 2005.

Mickey John - On the Record /w Greta - 06/29/05
JOHN: He (Deepak) said a story being made up about dropping the girl of at a Holiday Inn, was all something being made up. He, and the Dutch guy, and the Dutch guy's father, they sit and made up the story.

10. Jan van der Straten concedes to Nancy Grace on June 2, 2005 that Natalee Holloway had been reported missing on the morning of May 30, 2005. It could be assumed that the report would have included descriptions of Joran, Deepak and Satish as well as Deepak's vehicle.

Jan Van Stratten - NANCY GRACE - 06/02/05
GRACE: Commissioner Jan Van Derstraten is with us from Aruba. Commissioner, when exactly was she reported missing?
VANDERSTRATEN: She was reported missing on Monday morning.

11. The implication of the prosecutor's words to Dan Abrams is that on May 30, 2005 Paulus van der Sloot was already giving Joran, Deepak and Satish legal advice.

Karin Janssen - ‘The Abrams Report’ - June 30, 2005
JANSSEN: The father has spoken with those three suspects, and he said he give them some legal advice, but I think the advices were going further than that. They spoke about the situation that when there is no body, you don‘t have a case. And that was already in the first day after the disappearance.

12. Prior to Jug and Beth Twitty's arrival on the Island of Aruba, certain happenings of May 30, 2005 would imply that someone within Aruban Law Enforcement was assisting Joran, Deepak and Satish in getting their stories straight regarding their encounter with Natalee Holloway.

JORAN VAN DER SLOOT
On July 12, 2005 Anita Van der Sloot stated in a Joe Scarborough interview that Joran was picked up from school by police on Monday, May 30, 2005. Joran has never implied in interviews or declarations that he was ever picked up by police for questioning.

Anita Van der Sloot - 'Scarborough Country' - 07/12/05
ANITA VAN DER SLOOT: He hasn't told me anything, because, on the Monday, he went to school, like any normal boy. And he wasn't aware of—he was totally surprised when the police asked him to come to the—or picked him up for interrogation. He was totally surprised. He really thought that the girl would be safe in the hotel and there was no reason to talk about her at all.”

DEEPAK KALPOE
Deepak Kalpoe claims in his official statement of June 10, 2005 that he vacuumed his vehicle prior to picking up Joran Van der Sloot on Sunday May 29, 2005. He also states that he remembers telling interrogators at Bubali on May 31, 2005 that his vehicle was very clean because he had vacuumed his car the prior evening. This would imply Deepak was questioned by police at Bubali station on May 30, 2005.

Deepak Kalpoe - Suspect Statement - 06/09/05
He then asked me whether I wanted to go with to "Carlos & Charlies", because he had met a few girls and wanted to meet them again in "Carlos & Charlies". I agreed and told him that I would pick him up later. A little before 23.00 hours I drove home. I ate something at home together with my brother Satish and after that I vacuumed the carpet on the inside of my car. After I finished vacuuming I went and took a shower. A little before 0.00 hours I drove to Joran's house. Joran lives on the address Montanja 19.

Deepak Kalpoe - Suspect Statement - 06/10/05
To your question whether I can remember the day when I was summoned to the police station at Bubali, I can say the following. Yes I remember that day. You are telling to me that my car looked very clean on that day. About that I can state the following, I had vacuumed my car the previous day.

SATISH KALPOE
On June 29, 2005 in a secretly recorded conversation in a police van, Satish Kalpoe conveys to Joran that he told police about the choller in his first police statement. Satish's witness statement of May 31, 2005 has been revealed and there is no mention of the choller. It can be assumed that the first statement Satish is referring to must have been taken on May 30, 2005.

Satish Kalpoe - Leaked Police Vehicle Recording - 06/29/05
Joran: (to Deepak) Then you're going to tell shit about the choller. I have helped you with that that shit of the choller friend.
Deepak: And, I also said that.
Joran: That I have not read. I have also read that statement.
Satish: That of the chollers was from me. I have already told that before. I have also said that in my first statement.

13. Paul Reynolds implied that Paulus was implicated in Joran, Deepak and Satish's original statements. Considering that Deepak and Satish's May 31, 2005 witness statements do not implicate Paulus, it can be assumed that Natalee's uncle is referring to not yet revealed statements taken on May 30, 2005.

Paul Reynolds - 'Scarborough Country' - 08/26/05
REYNOLDS: Well, we certainly think they know more, but we think all three are involved. We think Joran and Deepak and Satish are all involved. And, you know, we still think the father was at least involved in the cover-up. And that‘s based on the statements that the boys gave in the beginning.

14. Joran claims in his suspect statement of June 14, 2005 that he played tennis on the evening of May 30, 2005. However, upon investigation, Art Wood discovered the contrary. Joran concedes in his book that he never did play tennis that day. Was the tennis game meant to be a cover regarding the real reason Joran was at the Racquet Ball club? Was there an arranged meeting with friends to discuss an American citizen named Natalee Holloway? Was there activity involving a boat?

Joran van der Sloot - Suspect Statement - 06/14/05
On Monday, May 30th 2005, I did not talk to anyone at school about having left behind Natalee. At approximately 17.00 pm, I was dropped off by my father at the Raquet Club. Between the hours of 17.00 pm and 18.00 pm I was in the gym. I was talking there with "Koen" nickname "Cul". We spoke that it was cowardly/weak and that no one was there. My tennis lesson was between the hours of 18.00 pm and 19.00 pm. According to me I was not called by anyone during that time. I had also made no calls myself. Approximately 19.00 pm, I was ready with playing tennis. I showered in the clubhouse

Art Wood - NATIONAL ENQUIRER - 01/06/06
The dramatic new line of investigation revolves around the timeline of May 30, starting about 18 hours after Natalee vanished. There are several unexplained missing hours during which authorities believe that her body was dumped at sea. Former U.S. Secret Service agent Art Wood, who spent months on the island investigating the case, told The National Enquirer: "Joran told police that he played tennis with a friend during the evening hours. And the pal backed up his alibi. But when I investigated the Racquet Club I found that Joran had never played tennis there that night."

Joran van der Sloot - Joran's Book PAGE 98
Paul drops Joran off at the RC at 6:15, but none of his friends are there so he doesn't feel like playing tennis. He gives his trainer an excuse and goes to the gym where he meets Koen. They talk a while and then they ask Andre, David, and Joran's tennis buddy "Marco" (Guido) if they want to play poker at the Wyndham. Marco says he has to work until 10:00 in the HI casino. Andre says his dad will join them in the game. Joran calls Paul and asks permission, saying Marco will bring him home after, Paul says OK. Joran takes off his tennis shoes and puts on flip flops. He walks from the RC past the Salinja to the beach, then via the beach he reaches the Wyndham at 6:45 (Note: book doesn't mention looking for his shoes).

Rick Segall/Dave Holloway - America's Most Wanted (AMW) - 04/11/06
Police have told Dave that the night after Natalee's disappearance, a boat was launched from an input just down the beach from the Holiday Inn where Natalee stayed.

15. Joran states in his June 14, 2005 suspect statement that on the evening of May 30, 2005, he did not walk past the Fisherman's Hut on his way to the Wyndham to check if Natalee was "still lying there". Why would Joran entertain the thought that Natalee may be "still lying there" eighteen hours after he left her? The implication is that Joran knew full well that Natalee was deceased.

Joran Van der Sloot - Suspect Statement - June 14, 2005
At approximately 19.15 pm I left on foot for the Wyndham Hotel. I was alone. My tennis gear I had left behind the bar at the Raquet club. I had also removed my tennis shoes and left them in the bag behind. I had taken from my tennis bag a pair of slippers and walked away on those. From the clubhouse I walked in the direction of Salinja to the Marriot Hotel. I walked along the same route that Deepak had taken to drop off me and Natalee. At the beach of the Marriot I tried for a little while to find my shoes. They were nowhere to be found. I looked for about two minutes. Then I walked over the beach to the Wyndham Hotel. On the way there I saw a lot of people. I did not go to Fisherman's Hut to see if Natalee was still lying there.

16. Following Jug and Beth Twitty's arrival on the Island on the evening of May 30, 2005, Charles Croes of Aruba Phones was contacted at 11:30 PM by a "major friend" who required assistance pertaining to cell phone information that related to a missing Natalee Holloway. On June 30, 2005 Charles Croes conveyed to Greta that following a 1:30 AM meeting with the Twittys he drove to the cabana area near the Holiday Inn to check whether Natalee was there. Byran Burrough states in the Vanity Fair article that Charles Croes claims he drove to the California lighthouse. Why would it cross Charles Croes mind that Natalee Holloway could possibly have connections to either of these areas – and why would Mr Croes change the location? Could it be that Charles Croes was conversing with Paulus and Joran at the VDS residence following the initial contact with a "major friend" and prior to the late night meeting with the Twittys?

C. CROES: After that, we spoke a while. And then we left that location with the intention of going to the Holiday Inn to continue meeting. On the way there, a young man and I were sitting in my car. And on the way there, instinctively, I wanted to go to drive off, pull over to the cabana area, just to look to see if perhaps she was there.

Charles Croes - One Happy Island: Visit Aruba - 06/02/05
There are issues in this case that can go beyond the obvious in their implications. It will take time for all the information regarding this lovely child to come out.

Some of it will be hard to handle and some of it will be expected.

With regards to the family of this missing child, my prayers are with you. I was with them on the first night they arrived to ARuba (looking for their daughter) from midnight until 5:30 AM and have kept in touch.
In my opinion, this issue has far reaching implications for all those involved. I wish all of us strength
charles arubafastphones.com

These facts beg the question of why Aruban authorities have yet to prosecute these four criminals in this case?

How can four suspects in a kidnapping, rape, and murder investigation go unchallenged when it is apparent they all knew something had happened to Ms Holloway, and were taking steps to hide that fact before they could have logically known she was missing?

Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!

KARIN JANSSEN

2007-08-23T08:25:00.000-07:00

Woman of the Year or Disgrace to her Profession?

When one looks over the pattern of her involvement in the Natalee Holloway case, we have to ask did Karin Janssen do a "friend a favor" or purposely buy time for the suspects to rehearse their lies, erase all evidence, change statements, allow some statements to become missing and therefore was she directly involved in a cover-up?

We remember it was Karin Janssen that asked the most unfathomable questions of Beth:

If she was related to Hitler
About life insurance policies

All the while maintaining a position of non-disclosure to the family that were so desperate to know what happened to the victim in this case, their daughter Natalee.

What did Karin Janssen know before she had the security guards arrested?

Early on, Karin Janssen knew that not only was Natalee never returned to her hotel, and that given this fact, the "black security guard" described by Joran, Deepak and Satish could not possibly have existed, since surveillance and hotel employee witnesses all indicated that no sign of Natalee was ever recorded, nor any of the other descriptions fabricated by the Kalpoes and Joran.

Beth Twitty - MSNBC
TWITTY: ….. within 72 hours, we knew that their first story was totally fabricated, that within the first 72 hours, I faced a room of 12 -- at least 12 detectives, Aruban and Dutch detectives, and a lead detective, Dennis Jacobs (ph), and they knew after we reviewed video footage from the Holiday Inn casino lobby that my daughter had never been brought back to the Holiday Inn. They knew that those suspects were fabricating a story from day one. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11590518/

FOX NEWS
Holiday Inn employees say security cameras did not record Holloway's return. A Holiday Inn guard who worked the overnight shift that day said he did not see her, said Pietersz, who said she reviewed the guard's statement to police. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159252,00.html

ALE OFFICER
This officer in the same fox article sent earlier, states that the investigation shows Natalee NEVER returned (surveillance)
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,158666,00.html

Karin Janssen knew that neither John nor Jones were working as security guards during the time frame that Joran, Deepak and Satish claimed to have dropped Natalee off at the Holiday Inn hotel. She also knew that the descriptions given by Joran, Deepak and Satish of clothing they claimed the "dark skinned" guard wore was not anything remotely close to what Holiday Inn security guards wore. Yet, Karin Janssen ignored these discrepancies and had the security guards arrested claiming she had evidence.

NANCY GRACE
June 9, 2005 (1 Guard in 2 boys statement)
PIETERSZ: And, the two guys now suspect, that they said they saw a security guard walking up to Natalee according to the statement of the two witnesses around, I assume, 2 o`clock. And that never could be my client because he wasn`t even working. So he was not wearing a uniform.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0506/09/ng.01.html

It can be concluded that given all the information Karin Janssen had available to her, the notion that there was good "cause for suspicion" was knowingly false, and the fact that the guards were still pursued, in light of ALE and prosecutors knowing that no drop off ever occurred, suggests collusion between the ALE and Karin Janssen for the sole purpose of denying Natalee's family the truth of what had been inflicted upon their child, and covering up for the real perpetrators: Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe, Satish Kalpoe and Paulus van der Sloot.

* EVIDENCE ON GUARDS WAS FALSE - THEY HAD ALIBI'S
* GUARDS ONLY QUESTIONED ONE TIME BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AFTER THEIR DETAINMENT
* CLOTHING WORN BY GUARDS DID NOT MATCH THE WITNESS STATEMENTS
* THE SURVEILLANCE TAPES NEVER SHOWED NATALEE NOR THE GUARDS AT THE HOLIDAY INN THAT NIGHT
* DEEPAK STATED HE COULD "IDENTIFY THE GUARD IF SHOWN TO HIM" BUT NO LINE UP WAS DONE OR FACE TO FACE MEETING FOR IDENTIFICATION
* PRESS RELEASES THAT THE "GUARDS ARE NOT COOPERATING" WERE GEARED TO PRESENT NEGATIVE PERCEPTIONS OF THE TWO GUARDS TO THE PUBLIC TO DISCREDIT THEM INSTEAD OF WHERE IT BELONGED: ON JORAN VAN DER SLOOT, PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT, DEEPAK KALPOE AND SATISH KALPOE
* SECURITY GUARDS WERE USED AS STALL TACTICS FOR THE COVER-UP OF THE CRIMES AGAINST NATALEE HOLLOWAY - TO HELP PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT SANITIZE EVIDENCE
* STEVE CROES ENTERS THE SCENE TO FURTHER THE SECURITY GUARD LIE WITH NOW IMPLICATING TWO SECURITY GUARDS NOT ONE AS WAS STATED BY JORAN AND DEEPAK ORIGINALLY
* MICKEY JOHNS SPOKE TO DEEPAK WHO TOLD HIM ABOUT PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT'S INVOLVEMENT WITH THE CREATION OF THE HOLIDAY INN LIES AROUND THE POOL AT THEIR HOME. HE KNEW THAT THEY ALL CONSPIRED TO LIE, AUTHORITIES PLAYED ALONG, AND HE WAS SET UP

Prior to their arrest, Karin Janssen did not investigate John and Jones, she knew the three last seen taking Natalee had lied, and yet went forward with their arrest. After which she took yet another curious step by requesting that the attorney representing both the Security Guards, Chris Lejuez, drop Mickey Johns as a client.

CHRIS LEJUEZ
Lejuez dropped John as a client per a request from the prosecutor, who said “it's not ethical for him to represent both clients."
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159006,00.html

VIDEO WITH CHRIS LEJUEZ SPEAKS ABOUT HIS CLIENT and why he was asked by Prosecutor to drop one of the Security Guards http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159252,00.html

Two large double standards from this turn of events by Karin Janssen were Paulus van der Sloot being allowed to represent his son and the Kalpoe brothers, and both suspects Steve Croes and Geoffry van Cromvoirt were represented by the same attorney as well – neither scenario warranted the objection by Janssen that the security guards’ legal representation did.

“The father of one of the men is a local attorney on the island and is representing all three of them.”
http://www.nbc13.com/news/4567607/detail.html

JOHN Q KELLY
VAN SUSTEREN: John, what I heard a little bit earlier today from someone I spoke to in Aruba is that the lawyer for "G.V.C." is also the lawyer — it's a woman — who represented Steve Croes, who is the man who came forward with the false alibi to the police which supported lie number one of Deepak, Satish and Joran. Do you know anything about the lawyer representing both Steve Croes and now "G.V.C."?
KELLY: I know that's the situation. It's a woman, and that is the person who represented Croes and would be representing this individual now. And actually, Ms. Janssen, when I talked to her today, she was just getting ready to turn over the dossier to "G.V.C.'s" attorney for review before they did go into court.
VAN SUSTEREN: Then it's bizarre that this lawyer would represent both Steve Croes and GVC because at least here in the United States, I think most lawyers would say that there is a potential for conflict of interest and a lawyer shouldn't be representing both. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,192309,00.html

Why did Karin Janssen withhold Joran van der Sloot’s statement from the security guards’ attorney claiming it to be irrelevant to his clients, while turning over the Kalpoe brother’s statements when reportedly Joran’s statement contained the same lie?

CHRIS LEJUEZ
CHRIS LEJUEZ, ATTORNEY FOR ABRAHAM JONES: Nancy, I have seen only the statements of two of the three men. The evidence that I got, the documentation, the files that I received from the prosecutor’s office contained only two of the statements. My colleague has asked the prosecutor why only the two, not the one of the Dutch boy? She was told by the prosecutor, at least by the prosecutor’s office, that that statement would not be relevant to the case of her suspect, her client.
LEJUEZ: Well, both the statement that I’ve read from two of this young boys state very clearly that they dropped her off at the hotel at approximately 2 o’clock in the morning. She got out of the car. She was under the influence of alcohol. And then they saw her walk through the front door of the hotel inside the lobby. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0506/09/ng.01.html

Why was a known drug dealer – Xavier “Boeti” Naar, brother in law to the lead investigator Dompig and cousin to the Kalpoe brothers – brought in to help implicate the falsely arrested security guards?

BETH TWITTY
TWITTY: ….. First of all, it started out with Dennis Jacobs (ph), the lead narcotics agent on the island of Aruba, who was working with Boody to get him to implicate the two security guards. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10348437/

WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE THAT KARIN JANSSEN PROVIDED IN THE CLOSED HEARINGS WITH THE JUDGES?

In order for Joran and the Kalpoe brothers to continue to be detained, Janssen had to present evidence to the judge for each hearing to determine continued detainment.

*Surveillance tapes of the Holiday Inn and Excelsior Casino
*Signed statements from suspects

SEARCH WARRANTS

How was Karin Janssen able to complete the paperwork correctly for the search of the security guards’ residences, but not for the van der Sloot’s home?

FOX NEWS
Aruban police in unmarked cars accompanied by FBI agents made a pre-dawn raid at 5 a.m. Sunday, rousting two suspects aged 28 and 30 from their beds. An AP photographer watched as the rumpled men — one from the De Vuiyst housing project for poorer islanders and another from an average home in southeast San Nicolas — emerged without resistance, hands cuffed behind their backs. Police searched the homes and emerged with what looked like a metal safe deposit box and a garbage bag of clothing.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,158666,00.html

GEROLD DOMPIG
October 19, 2005 Dompig: That is correct. The fact is that we as a law enforcement agency always try to get the maximum. Meaning that we want to search as much places as possible. We were not granted by the judge a search warrant for the complete house, we only received the warrant for the apartment.
Reporter: But what about after Paul Van der Sloot was arrested, couldn’t you get a warrant to search the house then?
Dompig: It was also denied, we were a bit disappointed with that. The judge was coming from another island I must point out. He said we didn’t make a good enough case to get a warrant.

DNA TESTING

How was Karin Janssen able to complete the paperwork correctly for the search of the security guards’ residences but did not follow proper procedures for DNA testing of the Kalpoe brothers and Joran van der Sloot?

SUSAN CANDIOTTI
CANDIOTTI: Well, I have learned from -- we have learned from two sources that, in fact -- and law enforcement source confirmed to me that a toothbrush that was in her hotel room was found to have male DNA evidence on it. http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0507/28/ng.01.html

WHY DIDN'T KARIN JANSSEN GO BACK TO COURT IMMEDIATELY TO CLEAR UP ANY ERRORS IN HER FILINGS FOR THESE IMPORTANT PROCEDURES?

SEARCHES

WHY WAS A BIG SEARCH CONDUCTED ON JUNE 6TH? THEY HAD ALREADY ARRESTED THE SECURITY GUARDS WHOM THEY HAD "EVIDENCE" AGAINST?

Why was this search conducted away from the area the victim, Natalee Holloway was last seen?

CBS NEWS
The initial search idea called for an island wide effort, but later changed to focus on the southeastern area of Seroe Colorado and part of San Nicolas, police commander Judy Hassell said. San Nicolas is where the two charged men were arrested. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/06/06/national/main699807.shtml

STATEMENTS MISSING, CHANGED, DELAYED

1. SUSPECT- CONFESSION MISSING
PAUL REYNOLDS
we saw the reports that confessions had been made, that something bad had happened. Shortly thereafter, it was retracted. The next morning, there was a report that said Natalee was confirmed dead. And these reports came from the deputy commissioner. They came from the spokesperson from the Ministry of Justice. And then, all of a sudden, these statements and these confessions just disappeared.

2. BETH TWITTY - STATEMENT CHANGED
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: We found out about three weeks later that that statement that I signed on June 10 is not my statement. We were given that statement by an Aruban attorney sometime during the month of July and finally had it translated, and it is not my original statement.
GRACE: What was left out, Beth?
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: There were a lot of names that were left out, you know, just key elements as far as how Joran asked Jug and -- to leave the group before he admitted the sexual assaults that he committed against Natalee and -- and just a lot of things. You know, Paulus`s name -- I didn`t know anyone`s name. I didn`t know Charles Croes`s name, which is just ludicrous.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0510/04/ng.01.html

3. JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - STATEMENT MISSING
TWITTY: Well, Rita, like I said, we‘ve been worried as early as June 1 when we saw torn statements at a police station. We‘ve had falsified documents. I mean, we‘ve seen key elements omitted from uniformed police officers‘ statements. We‘ve had a D.E.A. whose statement was never taken.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9354188/

4. JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - STATEMENT CHANGED
Paulus van der Sloot police statement
We then departed for the police station in Bubali where we arrived at approximately 11.00 hours. Jacobs and Kelly took down Joran's statement. Joran was speaking in Papiamentu and that was translated by the officers into Dutch. I was there when Joran made his statement. We made a few changes in the concept with regard to factualities instead of observations. At approximately 14.00 hours Joran signed his statement ...

5. ALABAMA WITNESSES - STATEMENTS DELAYED
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Well that‘s kind of what I‘m leading up to. I‘m leading up to the reason why that could be. And number four would, you know, when you think of the DEA witness, Eric Williams, was not given—was not—did not give a statement regarding the incident that occurred May 31 where Joran is again, admitting these sexual assaults committed against Natalee. And number five, you remember there were many witnesses there that night that were never asked to give a statement until 20 to 30 days later. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9679791/

JUG TWITTY: I think, Joe, they need to go back to the beginning and question the people that were with me that night. We have already got conflicting stories now. People have changed their statements from the very first night. Those people that were with me that night, had they taken our statements at least a week after it happened, we would have already had the answer. But when they take my statement 33 days later, and they take the other guys‘ statements that were with me and ladies that were with me, you know, like 19 days later, it‘s like they didn‘t want to find the truth.

KARIN JANSSEN KEPT FBI OUT OF INVESTIGATION

DAVE HOLLOWAY
DAVE: One of the things I really had a concern with was the FBI was contacted and the FBI wanted to come to the island. The FBI wanted to get involved due to the fact that we had an American citizen missing on their island. I recently found out that decision was made by the prosecutor and the police department to not allow the FBI to become involved as they should. In fact they sent a dive team up approximately a week later and they ended up going home. They didn't even step foot in the ocean.

the FBI was never given a single document, audio or visual, in this case.

With the USA and London Bombings dominating the news at one point, Aruba’s investigation began charging the news organizations networks as much as $1,500-a-day for freelance cameramen, $300 to $400 for hotel rooms for producers and crew, as well as $3,000 for satellite feeds.

BETH TWITTY
Beth stated that the communications people in Aruba have raised the fee for satellite hookup from $800 to $4000 in order to broadcast live interviews
http://.scaredmonkeys.com/?p=1586

In further attempts to obstruct the truth of the crimes against Natalee Holloway, they threatened to jail Art Woods for not having a permit, created lies about TES disturbing turtle eggs, and statements from Dompig surfaced with unfounded ideas that Natalee died of an overdose.

Dompig then came to the Unites States to question the Mountain Brook teens with a questionnaire prepared by Janssen, and continued his attempts to slander Natalee and her family by undermining her credibility and her innocence with defamatory statements directed at Beth and Dave about insurance scam lies, and insinuating that funds they received to help them find their daughter were mishandled.

These were diversionary tactics utilized by the Aruban Justice Department along with Janssen's statement that "you can't barge in their like cowboys" which was meant to demean American standards while her actions and methodologies were corrupt attempts to protect the suspects by zeroing in on the innocent Security Guards who for 10 days were not in any line-up, only questioned one time, and their alibis ignored.

Karin Janssen and the other Aruban officials continue, even today, along with the bloggers on-line, in planting lies and disrupting forward progress in this case.

The fact that Prosecutor Karin Janssen and polis detectives Dennis Jacobs and Jan van der Straten, all in charge of the investigation, were not pursuing the facts, or the surveillance tapes that demonstrated Natalee never return to the hotel; while ignoring all the contradictions of the statements by Joran and Kalpoe brothers paints a very clear picture indeed. It would seem impossible for any competent professional to come up with the strategical course that Karin Janssen utilized and not realize she was involved in a collusion to cover up these crimes.

Common sense dictates that her swiftness to arrest the Security Guards based on known lies made by the criminals in this case, not obtaining a search warrant for the property of the van der Sloots and surrounding area, not following procedures for testing of DNA which caused that evidence to be rejected by a judge - all supports the cover-up that the world has watched unfold.

Karin Janssen has been a Prosecutor for 12 years and the Chief Prosecutor in Aruba for a year and one half, http://tinyurl.com/ysnnlm ,and she made the choices and procedural errors based upon her experience. Common sense says she knew exactly what she was doing to help cover-up a crime in Aruba.

* Aruba's justice department wants us to believe that blood can miraculously morph into cleaning fluid and chocolate.

* Aruba's justice department wants us to believe that our FBI was allowed to search, but we know that they went home without ever playing more than an advisory role.

* Aruba's justice department wants us to believe Natalee bought drugs and over-dosed.

* Aruba's justice department wants us to believe they turned over all documents and files to the FBI.

2007-08-15T14:24:00.000-07:00

ARRESTS OF SUSPECTS IN THE NATALEE HOLLOWAY CASE WERE BASED ON STRONG AND SERIOUS SUSPICIONS

In consideration of Dutch law and how Aruba chose to apply it, why were further serious suspicions gleaned from polis statements ignored? It seemed the more suspicious the circumstances surrounding this case became, and the multiple times these suspects changed their stories - the less aggressive Aruban law enforcement became in attempting to discover the truth about what happened to the victim, Natalee Holloway.

1. Aruban attorneys Arlene Ellis-Schipper and Noraina Pietersz who both have/had connections to the the Natalee Holloway case educate via the American media regarding the criteria for arrests under Dutch law - STRONG/SERIOUS suspicion.

ARLENE ELLIS-SCHIPPER - ARUBAN ATTORNEY

NANCY GRACE - 07-20-2005
ELLIS-SCHIPPER: There is no grand jury in Aruba. It`s a different system. You are arrested based on suspicion, on strong suspicion. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0507/20/ng.01.html

NORAINA PIETERSZ - ARUBAN ATTORNEY

Associated Press - June 9, 2005
Under Aruban law, only serious suspicion from investigators — not solid evidence — is needed for a judge to rule that suspects can be held, Pietersz said. http://www.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/news/050609/aruba.shtml

2. When Dutch law is taken into consideration it can be assumed that the suspicions warranting the arrests of the suspects in the Natalee Holloway case could be defined as STRONG/SERIOUS.

After being detained and then released last month in Natalee Holloway's disappearance, two brothers were arrested again Friday in Aruba on suspicion they acted "together with other people" in rapping and killing the Alabama teen, the prosecutor's office said. Without elaborating on the evidence, the office said in a statement that "new facts and circumstances" led them to re-arrest Satish Kalpoe, 18 and brother Deepak, 21. "They are suspected of the primary criminal act of together with other people committing premeditated murder, alternately together with other people murdering somebody, more alternately rob a person of her liberty with fatal consequences and even more alternately raping somebody," the statement said. "Aside from these suspicions against the two brothers, there are new suspicions, which at this point the prosecutor is not commenting on." http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/08/26/aruba.arrests/index.html

BENVINDA DE SOUZA - ATTORNEY : ... The official charges on Freddy Zedan-Arambatzis are intentionally distribute and show sexual images of a minor; intercourse with someone he knows is unconscious and sexual acts with a girl younger than 16 years.

CONCLUSION

The basis for the January, 2007 Superior Court's ruling which denied Paulus van der Sloot compensation on behalf of his family and himself for his three day detainment in regards to his connection to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway was justified. The prosecutor had in her possession evidence of SERIOUS AND STRONG SUSPICIONS.

SUPERIOR COURT - JANUARY, 2007

“With attention to the lying declarations that the son of Paulus, Joran Andreas Petrus van der Sloot (hereafter Joran) gave about his last contact on the 30th of May 2005 with the disappeared Natalee Holloway, the suspicion is not unreasonable that he made himself guilty of a conduct that can be qualified as murder, manslaughter, or kidnapping that resulted in death.

The possible involvement of Paulus with that could then be deducted from the file with the official reports of witnesses, amongst which two people suggested a contact existed between Paulus and Natalee Holloway the night of her disappearance, and a tapped report (that was given by the Prosecutor in her final note 1 to the Court). The tapped information and his declaration that he picked up Joran and Natalee by the McDonalds Palm Beach and brought them to the Holiday Inn, are clearly understood by the Dept. of Justice, and could in the judgement of this Superior Court, be considered as an indication of the involvement of Paulus in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.”

The obvious questions remain:

* Why did Aruban law enforcement and the prosecutor fail to properly follow up on these suspicions?

* Why did they softball interrogations that appear to be scripted?

* Why did they not follow up on the glaring discrepancies between the suspects' stories?

* Why did any of the judges ruling in this case release these suspects?

Natalee Holloway and her family deserve justice. We will not let up until they have it!
